Pathology Test Results
All test results are automatically processed and sent back to your GP electronically to be securely stored in your patient file and therefore can be monitored over time.
In addition, patients are advised that they follow up on their own test results.
Of course, we will contact you about any results that we feel need urgent attention. However, for less urgent matters, a notation would be added to your records, so that the relevant matter is discussed the next time you visit the doctor.
If you have had pathology results can take up to a week, and in rare cases a little longer. We will attempt to phone your results to you so please ensure we have your updated contact details while you are at Reception or as soon as possible afterwards to minimise delays.
Rarely further procedures are necessary so it’s important we are able to discuss this with you as soon as possible. Due to data security requirements, we are unable to directly email results.
Please be aware that it is your responsibility to follow up on results of any investigations performed.
Can I get a family member’s test results?
A family member can only access your test results with your permission.
Privacy laws make it illegal to disclose any information about a patient without their prior consent. If you want a family member to have access to your results, you will need to have that noted in your file.
