Recalls, Results and Reminders
Normal pathology and imaging results ordered by your doctor are communicated to patients via an SMS.
If results require a longer discussion the doctor may request a non-urgent appointment which you can book using the link in the SMS received. Results are also conveyed to our practice nurses – Sue and Dionne who may call to discuss the findings.
We will always SMS you with a result – whether normal or not within a 7 day period.
However, we will not call if the tests have not been ordered by your clinician at Newport Doctor. If we are copied in by your specialist, then results will simply be put into your file.
Routine reminders are communicated via our partner platform Automed. Reminders that require a pathology (ACL ONLY) or radiology (PRP ONLY) request please follow this link.
