Test Results

Please help us by ensuring any specimens you are requested to provide are given in the correct container and are labeled. Failure to do so will mean the laboratory cannot process your specimen.

You will be advised of the usual length of time before we can expect results.

Please understand that we are bound to maintain patient confidentiality and therefore results will only be disclosed to the patient (not their spouse/partner) or to the parents of minors, i.e. under the age of 16 unless alternative arrangements have been agreed in writing.

You will not be routinely contacted with your test results unless the Dr asks us to do so. Should you wish to know the results please telephone during the afternoon on 01403 782931 when we will ask a Nurse to contact you out of clinic hours.
