If your test results show that you need more tests or treatment, we will contact you.
Once a doctor has reviewed your test results, you can view them:
- in your NHS account (through the NHS website or NHS App)
- in your Online Services account
- phone or visit us between 9am to 5pm and we will tell you what the results are
Questions about your results
On average please allow at least one week for your test results to come back from the hospital unless your doctor has advised otherwise. Please note that X-ray results may take a little longer.
We cannot always give full results over the phone. If the result is complicated, or if the doctor wants to see you about the result, we will offer you an appointment. We will only give results to the person who has had the test.
