Test Results

Please note that it is your own responsibility to contact the surgery for your test results.

Please allow 5 working days for results to be processed. Other tests such as X-rays may take longer. Please telephone the reception after 10:00am on 0115 883 2626.

You may need to speak to the doctor or nurse to discuss your results – our receptionists will advise you if you need to take any further action but under no circumstances will they give out medical advice.

Test results may be viewed online if you have online access.  Please always telephone the surgery for an explanation of your results if the clinician has annotated the result with borderline or abnormal.

Be aware 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 written permission for their release or if they are not capable of understanding them.

X-Ray

An X-ray is a quick and painless procedure commonly used to produce images of the inside of the body.

It's a very effective way of looking at the bones and can be used to help detect a range of conditions.

Ultrasound

An ultrasound scan, sometimes called a sonogram, is a procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to create an image of part of the inside of the body.

An ultrasound scan can be used to monitor an unborn baby, diagnose a condition, or guide a surgeon during certain procedures.
