Test Results
The nurse, health care assistant or phlebotomist taking the sample will tell you how long it is likely to be before the result is available.
Please ring on 0114 239 6687 between 2.30pm and 6.30 pm Monday to Friday. To ensure confidentiality, test results will not be given to a third party and it is our policy not to give pregnancy test results over the telephone.

Smear results may take four to eight weeks and will normally be sent to you by post, if you haven’t been notified of your result by eight weeks please contact the medical centre.

Risk profiling
Risk profiling: how your NHS records are used
Privacy notice
This practice is taking part in a new NHS service that helps your family doctor (GP) to spot whether you need more help to manage your health. The service is called “risk profiling”.
Using information from your health records, a secure NHS computer system will look at any recent treatments you have had in hospital or at this surgery, and any existing health conditions that you
have, and alert your doctor to the likelihood of a possible future hospital admission.
The clinical team at the surgery will use the information to help you get early care and treatment where it is needed.
The information will only be held on existing clinical IT systems and will only be seen by qualified health workers involved in your care.
NHS security systems will protect your health information and patient confidentiality at all times.
If you don’t want your information being used in this way, or have any other concerns, please contact the practice.

Named GP
Patients are allocated with a named GP when they join the practice. Patients may ask to be informed of their Accountable General Practitioner or they will be advised via prescription messages, text messages, verbally or via a letter.
Medical Research
Medical research helps to develop new treatments and better services for patients. At the Gleadless Medical Centre we are keen to support good quality research and consequently continue to be involved in selected projects.
As a patient you may be invited to participate in one of these projects. Before you do so your consent will be sought.
If you would like more information about any project that you have been asked to take part in please speak to the Practice Manager
Hospital referrals
If a GP recommends a referral to the hospital as part of your investigations or for treatment he will usually write a letter to a consultant and you should receive an appointment through the post within six weeks. If you haven’t heard from the hospital or the practice in that time you should contact the practice to let them know.
Please let the hospital know if you cannot keep an appointment. Waiting lists can be long and a missed appointment cannot be used for someone else who may have waited a long time to be seen.
