Test Results

Test results can sometimes take a while to become available.  Please ring if you want to ask about a result.

As a general rule:

• Most blood test results are available within a week.
• X-ray results are usually available within a month (although they can take up to 6 weeks at times).
• Cervical smear results are posted to the patient directly from the NHS England Area Team within 8 weeks.

Please be patient with the receptionists when you call, they are not medically qualified and can only pass on whether your Doctor has said the result is normal or not.
