Tests & Results

Test results wait times

We will usually get your results in one or two weeks, but it depends on the circumstances and type of test you have.

An approximate number of working days for tests arranged by the surgery:

  • Blood tests – two to seven working days unless otherwise advised
  • X-Ray – 10 working days (but can take longer)
  • Urine test – seven working days
  • Stool (poo) test – seven working days
  • Smear test – two to three weeks
  • Ultrasound – if ‘routine’ within six weeks, if urgent within two weeks
  • Cancer investigations – one week
  • For investigations ordered by a hospital, please ask at the hospital how they intend to provide the result to you.

If you’re having a test for more than one condition, the results may come back at different times.

The surgery will contact you about your test results.  Information maybe provided via text or you may be asked to make a routine telephone appointment to discuss results.  Please note that this may be within a 4-6 week timescale.  If there are significant concerns about your results the surgery will contact you urgently.
