How to access your results

NHS App

The NHS App lets you view recent test results in your online GP health record without phoning the practice.

SMS Text Message

If you have consented, we may send your test results via SMS. Please ensure we have your up-to-date mobile number.

Telephone

You can call the practice at 0161 755 9870 between 10am and 4pm to inquire about your results.

Non-urgent advice: Will I be contacted regarding my test results?

All test results are reviewed by a GP. If further action is needed, the GP will contact you by telephone.

If your test results are normal, we won’t contact you directly, but you will be informed of the results at your next appointment.

Getting your test results

All test results are reviewed by a Clinician who will contact patients with the results of any X-ray, test, or blood test where further action is required.

Due to the high volume of test results we receive, we do not contact patients where test results are normal and will inform you of results at your next appointment.

Please note: the time taken to process test results can vary from several days to several weeks.

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 Patient Access account
phone or visit us between 10am to 4pm and we will tell you what the results are
