Test Results

Confidentiality

North Beverley Medical Centre has strict policies regarding confidentiality and data protection. Results will only be given to the patient unless we have recorded express permission from the patient to another named person. Where a patient is not capable of understanding the results, the practice will make appropriate judgements taking account of the circumstances.

Blood Test

Blood tests are a common form of investigation and are usually carried out at the practice. Samples are tested in a laboratory and the results are returned to the surgery for assessment by a doctor.

X-Ray

X-Rays are widely used and are an effective way to detect bone or tissue problems and assist with overall diagnosis. Further information can be obtained on the NHS website.  Your x-ray will be performed at a hospital site and the results will be sent to the practice. If your x-ray was ordered by a hospital consultant, after you were referred by the practice, you should ask how they will advise you of the results.

Scans

Various scans are conducted for diagnostic purposes. Ultrasound scans  involve the use of high-frequency sound waves to create an image of part of the inside of the body. An MRI scan or magnetic resonance imaging uses magnetic fields and radio waves  to produce detailed images of the inside of the body,. Scans are normally carried out in a hospital setting. If you are under the care of the hospital after being referred, you should ask how they will inform you of the results.
