If you have been referred for further treatment or tests, you can check on the referral online or contact the surgery.
There are several ways to check a referral:
Check a Referral Using the NHS App or Website
The NHS app is a quick way to access NHS services. Using the NHS app means you do not need to enter your personal details each time you contact the surgery. You can read more about the app on the NHS website.
You will need the NHS app or your NHS account login details.
When you attend a test of any kind, you will be told how long you should expect to wait for the results. This is a guideline, and we ask that you wait this time before checking for your results.
Please note that we have a strict policy regarding confidentiality and data protection. We will only give test results to the person they relate to unless that person has given prior permission for their release or if they’re not capable of understanding them.
If you’ve had a recent test, you can view your results online or contact the surgery.
You can get results for things like:
blood tests
urine tests
x-rays
ultrasounds

You can telephone the practice by 01902 639000. Please call the surgery about test results after 2 pm.
Please note that the results of tests carried out during hospital visits are not normally sent to the practice.
Why have I been asked to have a repeat test?
If a doctor asks you to have a repeat test, it is usually because:
The result was borderline or unclear, and the doctor wants another sample to monitor the situation or to re-check the results.
The result is abnormal, and the doctor cannot interpret the result without further tests and has asked you to come in for more tests.
Please do not worry if the doctor has asked you for a repeat test. The doctor will speak to you or request to see you directly if they need to discuss the results.
Get a sick note for work
The NHS provides sickness certification only after seven continuous days of illness. If you need a sick note to cover this period of sickness you should complete a Self-Certification (SC2) form which is available from your employer or on the HMRC website.
Need a sick note after seven continuous days of illness?
Please contact the GP surgery as you normally would for a routine appointment as it may be necessary to arrange to discuss your request with a GP.
If you’re off for more than seven days If you’re off work sick for more than seven days, your employer will usually ask you to get a fit note from your doctor.
The note can say that:
you are ‘not fit for work’
you ‘may be fit for work’
The seven days include days that you don’t normally work. So when you work out how long you’ve been off sick, include weekends and bank holidays.
Charges You do not have to pay for a fit note if you’re off sick for more than seven days.
Do I need a note saying I’m fit for work?
No. You do not need to see your GP again to be ‘signed back to work’.
