Your doctor will let you know whether you can phone for your results, or if you must make an appointment.

If you are telephoning for your result, please call the Practice Nurse between 9:00am and 3:00pm Monday to Friday, if possible.  The Practice Nurse will be able to give you basic information regarding your results.  If a follow up appointment is required the Practice Nurse will call you.

Please phone in for your results, as we do not routinely phone every patient.  Your doctor can tell you when your results will be ready.

Our doctors will always accept calls if they are not with a patient. During consultations, GPcare staff will take a message, and ask the doctor to return your call.

Urgent calls will be put through to the Practice Nurse for triage.

Calls from other health care providers will always be put straight through.
