Test results

Most blood test results are back within 7 days but some specialist tests take much longer. Routine X-Ray and scan results can take 2 to 4 weeks depending on the type of test.

Getting your test results

If your test results show that you need more tests or treatment, we will contact you by phone or text message.

Results go back to the doctor or nurse who requested the test. If a test was requested by the hospital then your results will usually go back to the hospital and not to your GP. Please contact your hospital specialist for these results.

You can view your test results online if you’re registered for our online services.
