Tests and Results
Most test results are available within the week after the test. Make sure, when you are with your doctor or nurse, that you know how to obtain the results. It usually will be one of 3 options:
- We will only inform you if there is a problem
- Your doctor will inform you
- You will be told to telephone for results
We are able to access some hospital investigations but usually these results are only sent to the doctor requesting them. We will not usually be informed of these results ahead of your outpatient appointment.
Cervical Smear results are sent out by letter.
