Test Results

Please telephone the surgery between 1430 and 1630 for access to the Results Clinic. 

This clinic is provided by a member of the Practice Administration Staff and therefore no clinical information other than that stated on the results by the Clinician can be discussed.

Note that the practice has a strict policy regarding confidentiality and data protection and we will only release test results to the person to whom they relate unless that person has given prior permission for the release of this data or they are not capable of understanding the results.

When you take your test you will be advised how long it will be before the results are returned to the practice.

It is the patients responsibility to check their results and to make an appointment to discuss them with their doctor if advised to do so.

Our practice policy is only to provide patients with results when the tests have been instigated at the surgery. All tests undertaken by Secondary Care i.e. Ninewells Hospital etc patients should contact the relative department to obtain their results.

There is designated wheelchair access from the front of the building in Constitution Street and also ramp access from the car park at the rear of the practice. 

Disabled toilet facilities are located at the entrance to the main surgery building and also in the Howie Wing.  Please ask at our reception desks should you require any further information or assistance, as we are only too pleased to help. 

 Assisted door entry system is available from the front of the building only.

Certain services to our patients are not covered by the National Health Service.

These include some medical certificates, various insurance forms together with some medical examinations. 

We are happy to perform most services of this kind, however there will be a fee payable in line with current British Medical Association guidelines when appropriate.
