When you attend for a test of any kind you will be told how long you should expect to wait for the results.
Getting your test results
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 Patient Access account
- by phoning us on 0121 359 1539 after midday
- as a text message, if you have consented and it is applicable
Our reception staff are not qualified to comment on results, therefore it is your responsibility to check them and make any necessary follow-up appointment with the doctor.
Please note that we do have a strict policy regarding confidentiality and data protection. In this respect we will only give out results to the person they relate to, unless that person has given prior permission for their release or if they are not capable of understanding them.
Questions about your results
If you want to talk to someone about your results, fill out a test results request form and someone will be in touch.
