Test Results

General Information about Test Results

When you attend a test of any kind, you will be told how long you should expect to wait for the results. This is a guideline, and we ask that you wait this time before checking for your results.

Please note that we have a strict policy regarding confidentiality and data protection. We will only give test results to the person they relate to unless that person has given prior permission for their release or if they’re not capable of understanding them.

There are different ways you can access the results of tests that have been done at our GP surgery.

  • You can use your Patient Access or NHS App and access the results from there. Please note that results are only available once the doctor has reviewed them. If you don’t have access to your record online, please ask our reception team for help.
  • You can telephone the practice on 01922 620 532
  • When your results have been reviewed, you might receive a text message asking you to get in touch with us.
  • You can also contact us by completing an online form. We will respond when we are open (Monday to Friday 8am to 6.30pm).

Why have I been asked to have a repeat test?

Please do not worry if the doctor has asked you for a repeat test. The doctor will speak to you or request to see you directly if they need to discuss the results.

If a doctor asks you to have a repeat test, it is usually because:

  • The result was borderline or unclear, and the doctor wants another sample to monitor the situation or to re-check the results.
  • The result is abnormal, and the doctor cannot interpret the result without further tests and has asked you to come in for more tests.

Sick (fit) Notes

The NHS provides sickness certification only after seven continuous days of illness. If you need a sick note to cover this period of sickness you should complete a Self-Certification (SC2) form which is available from your employer or on the HMRC website.

Please contact the GP surgery as you normally would for a routine appointment as it may be necessary to arrange to discuss your request with a GP. You can also request a sick note online by completing an online form. We will respond when we are open.
Please see our contact page for opening hours

No. You do not need to see your GP again to be ‘signed back to work’.

We issue 2 types of sick note:

May Be Fit for Work

This is the standard type of sick note. It is completely flexible, allowing you time to remain off work and then to build up to your normal work routine.

Its purpose is to help you and your employer to sit down and have a supportive discussion so that you can agree a back-to-work plan which is agreeable to both of you. Please see the guidance to employers.

Not Fit for Work

This note is only issued under the most exceptional of circumstances where the patient cannot do any work whatsoever. For example, for the first few days only after a major operation or a life-threatening illness. Your doctor is professionally accountable for justifying usage of this category of fit note.

We typically only issue one of two of these types of note per year.

If you are having trouble with your employer, and they are not accepting your sick note issued by the GP, please direct them to the guidance on the Government website:

Getting the most out of the fit note: guidance for employers and line managers – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
