Getting your test results
Results of blood tests, x-ray results and correspondence are received late morning. These will then be passed to the GP for review. 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 SystmOne account
- fill out a test results request
- by phoning us on East Harling Surgery 01953 717204 or Kenninghall Surgery 01953 887208 and we will tell you what the results are
Blood test results are usually back within 3 working days, however some may take longer. X-ray and scan results will take longer. If you wish to see your GP to discuss your results, please ensure that these have been received by the surgery before you request an appointment.
Cervical smear results take approximately 2 to 3 weeks to come back. The Health Authority will inform you of the cervical smear result by letter.
The practice has a strict policy regarding confidentiality and data protection and we will only release test results to the person to whom they relate unless that person has given prior written, signed, permission for the release of this data or they are not capable of understanding the results.
