You can call the surgery on Feldon Practice 0121 422 4703 (option 2) or Hawne Lane Surgery 0121 550 2207 (Option 2) between 11:00 and 12:00 or visit reception for the results of any tests or investigations that have been carried out at the request of your GP. The surgery does not routinely telephone patients with results.
We are now linked to the Dudley Pathology department which provides us with blood test results much faster. The responsibility is on the patient to follow up any results of the tests they have had. Sometimes, we cannot always give full results over the phone. If the result is complicated, or if the doctor wants to see you about the result, we will offer you an appointment.
On average, please allow three working days for your test results to come back from the hospital unless your doctor has advised otherwise. X-ray results take a little longer.
Reporting of X-Rays usually takes ten days after which you should call the surgery for the results.
Other tests may take longer than this and the reception will advise you on how long you can expect to wait for the results of your investigation.
The doctors review the tests and comment on the results. In some cases you may be asked to make an appointment to discuss the results with the doctor.
The confidential nature of tests means that we can only give results to the patient (unless consent is given to provide results to another person and this is clearly documented in the medical notes).
