 Questions about your results

We have a strict policy regarding confidentiality and data protection. We can only give out results to the person they relate to unless that person has given prior permission for their release or if they are not capable of understanding them.

All results are reviewed by a clinician who will determine whether a follow-up is required. Our Admin team are not qualified to comment on results. It is your responsibility to check them and make any necessary follow-up appointment as needed.
