getting your test results
There are different ways to get your test results but we always tell you about any abnormal results either through SMS or telephone call or by letter. We also will tell you about normal tests like samples and radiology investigations. We like to keep you in the loop as soon as we know so make sure we have an uptodate mobile number on your records.
Alternatively, you can access results through your online access but these can sometimes be confusing without medical knowledge so we do not always recommend. If you do want access, please email us.
