Once a doctor has reviewed your test results, you can view them:
- in your NHS account (through the NHS website or NHS App)
- in your SystmOnline account
- phone or visit us after 11am and we will tell you what the results are
- Test results will be given only to the person who has had the test (or the parent of a child under 16 years of age). You should be prepared to identify yourself, saying which test or tests were carried out and when.
