Test Results

There is now new functionality on our clinical system that allows you to see your test results (digitally) as soon as they are available from the laboratory. This will sometimes be before one of our clinicians has seen them, reviewed them and commented on them. Please be assured that our systems for dealing with test results have not changed and we still regularly review all the results that come in and contact those who need further management. Previously patients were not able to see results until they had been processed by the clinician.

There are obvious pros and cons to this new system and we will see how things develop over the coming few weeks/months. If you have concerns about your blood results we would ask you to, please, use this resource which explains more about some results:

Please be assured that your GP/Nurse will still be checking your results, as they always have done, and adding comments/actions required. However, if you feel that something has been missed or an error has been made then please contact the surgery for clarification. This is best done via our online portal Patchs

Results may be obtained by contacting Skelmanthorpe Family Doctors. 

For confidentiality these results will only be given to the person from whom tests are taken or the parents/guardians of that person unless otherwise requested.
