Test Results
How and when to obtain test results from the surgery
Getting your test results
If your test results show that you need more tests or treatment, we will contact you.
Once a doctor has reviewed your test results, you can view them:
- in your NHS account (through the NHS website or NHS App)
- phone on 0151 317 6350 between 11am and 3:30pm to ask about your test results as our reception staff will have more time to deal with your request between these times.
Questions about your results
Get in touch with the surgery if you want to talk to someone about your results.
Giving us a sample
Advice to Patients
Please do not leave a sample at the surgery unless you have been asked to do so by one of our clinicians.
When to return your sample to the surgery
If one of our clinicians has asked you to provide a sample, please return it to the surgery before 12pm so that it can be collected that day by the specialist courier. Most samples will not keep overnight, and the test will have to be repeated.
How to return your sample to the surgery
Containers can be obtained from the reception. Please do not use any other kind of container to keep your sample.
Containers must be labelled with your name, date of birth and date and time of the specimen. Most results are returned electronically throughout the day.
