If the doctor has arranged for blood tests or x-rays then they will usually tell you when to phone back for the result. As a rough guide, blood results usually take 3-4 days and x-rays and scans 2 weeks.

We ask that you phone for results between 1300 and 1500 each day. This gives the doctors a chance to review the days results and prevents the phone lines from being as busy when other patients are trying to get through for appointments.

Receptionists can give out most results once approved by the doctor. These will usually be marked as either "satisfactory", "make appointment" or "discuss with doctor". Please do not phone for other people's results as we are bound by rules of confidentiality.
