Test Results
If you’ve had a blood test or other medical test, the doctor or nurse will only contact you if there is a concern. If your results are normal, you won’t be contacted. Please phone the nurse if you would still like to know your results. Leave a couple of days for blood and urine results and a week for smears and two weeks for the results of skin biopsies. If the nurse is busy please leave a message and she will get back to you as soon as possible.
