Patients at Doctors Coventry (Cheylesmore Surgery) that have had NHS blood tests, CT scans, MRIs and/or X-rays requested by our GPs and Clinicians, will have their results sent back to us in due course (this is dependant on hospital reporting times).
Blood test results usually take up to 5 working days to come back – you will receive a text message or email from Healthtech our reports provider, informing you of the results of your NHS blood tests. If you do not please contact us after 5 working days. The blood test turnaround time for NHS scans, unfortunately, vary between case to case, usually taking a couple of weeks. Some MRI scan reports can even take a few months to come back to us.
When we have received the results, they are given to the clinicians to review. When the clinicians at Cheylesmore Surgery have reviewed the results, they will leave a comment whether it is normal, satisfactory or abnormal and if there is any action required. If you are registered on the NHS App you will be able to see your blood test results and the action and comment attached to it.
As we receive so many results per day we do ask that if you have not received a message about your results, that you contact us after 5 working days. Please be aware that the local laboratory does send results back individually so you may receive several messages for example one for HbA1c (blood sugar), one for full blood count, one for vitamin D and so on (dependant on how many blood test factors you have had tested).
If you would still like to know if your results have been received or what the results are, there a few ways to find out:
You can call the surgery any time after 3pm. Please note our reception staff can only notify you if the results are marked as Normal, Satisfactory or Abnormal. If you require specific details, we can send you a copy of the results via email. This is the easiest way to check test results online in Coventry from your GP.
You can view your results online via NHS App or Patient Access App. Both will tell you if the results came back normal, satisfactory or abnormal but also show you the specific details about your results. This is the best way to check NHS test results in Coventry.
