Test Results
How and when to obtain test results from the surgery
Getting your test results
It is the responsibility of the hospital or specialist to give you the results of any tests they have organised. Please do not contact us for these results.
The Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) is available for patients who have any queries regarding their hospital treatment or test results ordered by the hospital.
- West Herts 01923 217198

The results of blood tests and X-ray results are now available via your NHS App, where you can also find your COVID vaccination history.
Once a doctor has reviewed your test results, you can view them:
- In your NHS account (through the NHS website or NHS App)
- By contacting us online
- Calling 01582 712021 - Please try to avoid calling the surgery before 10am as the lines can be extremely busy
- Visit us, and we will tell you what the results are
Questions about your results
Get in touch with the surgery if you want to talk to someone about your results.
Our reception staff are not qualified to interpret your results, but can let you know the comment that has been made about them by the doctor. It is then your responsibility to make any necessary follow-up appointment with the doctor or nurse.
We have a strict policy regarding confidentiality and data protection. In this respect, we will only give out results to the person they relate to unless that person has given prior permission for their release or if they are not capable of understanding them.
Smear tests
Results of smear tests will be sent to the patient by NHS England. If you have not received your result within four weeks of the test please call us.
