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 SystmOnline account
• phone or visit us between after between 2:00pm and 16:00pm and we can discuss the results with you or put you in touch with a healthcare professional to do so

If your blood test has been arranged by a GP or Practice Nurse they will advise you on how your result is to be followed-up. 

Example: If you are attending a chronic disease clinic and undergoing regular blood tests the Practice Nurse may advise you that the result will be discussed at the next clinic you are to attend or she may contact you if necessary. 

If hospital consultant has requested the blood test and you are having your blood taken at Pulborough Medical Group for convenience then please remember that the blood test result will go to the Consultant at the hospital. It is important for you to check with the hospital how you are to receive your result. 

Most results are back within 48 hours but please check with the phlebotomist who takes your samples who can inform you of correct timescales.
