If you haven’t registered yet, you can use the link below to download the NHS App. Please note that we do have a strict policy regarding confidentiality and data protection. This means that we can only give out results to the person they relate to unless that person has given permission or are not capable of understanding them.
Calling the surgery
You can get your results by phone between 8:30am to 1:00pm and 2:00pm to 5:30pm on weekdays. You are also able to request your results by email. To do this, please send an email with your name, date of birth, address and specify the test result you want to wccg.wgpresults@nhs.net. The team will be able to tell you if any further action is required. Should this be necessary, you will be advised to make an appointment to discuss the result with your doctor.
Important
Our results clerks are not clinically trained but they can give you basic information relating to your test results.
Should you require in-depth information, the results team will advise you to book a telephone appointment with a doctor, if your result is not of an urgent nature, this will be a routine telephone appointment. The clinician who asked you to complete a test will tell you whether you need a further appointment after or whether you should just contact us for the results.
How long does it take to get my test results?
When you attend a test of any kind, you will be told how long you should expect to wait for the results. Blood test results usually take five working days to get back and be checked by your GP. If there is anything that needs discussing further, your GP will call you as soon as they get the results back. If there are no problems with the results, then you will not be contacted.
