Test Results
If you have had a blood test, x-ray or scan it is important you find out the result.
Whilst we try to contact everyone with abnormal results, you should not assume that no news is good news.
Please ensure we have your up-to-date contact details, especially your mobile phone number and email.
How do I find out my result?
Online / NHS App
The easiest way to find out your test result is via the NHS App or you can access the online portal. Once you register for online services, then it’s simply a matter of logging into the portal and visiting the ‘patient record’ section and clicking on ‘view test results’.
By phone
Contact the surgery after 1:00 pm, one week after your test. This allows enough time for the results to come back from the laboratory.
Please do not ask a relative or friend to telephone the surgery on your behalf.
Results will only be given to the patient and not to a patient’s representative (except in the case of children, or when prior written consent has been given for a carer or nominated deputy to act on your behalf).

Right to choose
ADHD and ASD Assessment – Right To Choose
If you are based in England, under the NHS you now have a legal right to choose your mental healthcare provider and your choice at mental healthcare team, this includes for referrals relating to Autism and ADHD assessment.
This service is offered through the NHS and is free.
Who can offer Right to Choose assessments?
There are a number of clinics throughout the UK that can offer Right to Choose ADHD and/or ASD assessments.
The provider’s website is usually a good place to start to find out if they offer the service you need and we have compiled a list in this leaflet of some of the choices for you to consider.
Which providers offer Right To Choose assessments?
As the list of providers is constantly changing, with new services becoming available and services becoming available and services closing their waiting list, we are now unable to keep an up-to-date list. However, ADHD UK has a more up-to-date list of providers for both ADHD and ASD referrals. There may be other clinics you may want to research too.
For more information on ASD & Right to Choose referrals, the National Autistic Society website has some useful information.
For information on ADHD & Right to Choose referrals, the ADHD UK website has some useful information.
Things to Consider About Right to Choose
It’s important to note that many clinics offering these assessments can diagnose ADHD or ASD but may not provide medication titration.
This means you might need a local NHS referral if medication is required to manage symptoms.
