At Next Practice Newstead, our reception team do not have the ability to advise patients of their test results over phone or email.
Our clinic policy for results are as follows:
Requesting a copy of your test results:
After your results have been reviewed by your doctor, and require no further action, you can obtain a copy of your results as follows:
Your pathology results should automatically be available to you 7 days after your tests have been finalised, via My Health Record and the MyHealth app. Please note that only pathology results are available via My Health Record.
If the My Health App is not suitable, please book a Telehealth or face to face consultation with your GP to obtain your results. Please note, a fee applies to all GP consultations.
If your doctor requires a follow up appointment to discuss your results, our team will contact you to arrange this appointment. A fee will apply to this consultation.
For any questions on the above process, please reach out to our friendly Patient Advocate team on (07) 3518 7880 or newstead.pa@nextpracticehealth.com
