Results of Tests

We don't have a fixed rule as to how we communicate your test results to you. The method will depend on the particular circumstances of your visit. What we endeavour to do is to discuss with you at the time of your consultation what the plan is for dealing with your results - this will be documented in the consultation notes.

If the plan was for the doctor or nurse to contact you please be aware that this may not always occur immediately the results arrive as the doctor may need time to consider those results before making further decisions about ongoing management.

If you are uncertain about the plan for handling your results please phone and ask to speak with a nurse.
