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)
- in your SystmOnline Patient Services account
- by phoning us on Coleford Medical Practice 01594 838108 or Brunston Surgery 01594 838108 or Lydbrook Health Centre 01594 838108 between 11am and 3:30pm
The practice has a strict policy regarding confidentiality and data protection and we will only release test results to the person to whom they relate unless that person has given prior permission for the release of this data or they are not capable of understanding the results.
The reception staff are not clinically trained to interpret test results, and can only advise you of the information the doctor has entered on screen, therefore it is your responsibility to check them and make any necessary appointments.
