Transfer of Medical Records
If you require a copy of your records to be sent elsewhere, we will request you to complete a release of personal information consent form.
Test Results
Please note that we do not release test results over the phone. Test results are checked by the doctor as soon as test results are received at the practice. Patients are required to return for a consultation with the doctor to obtain test results. If any result is abnormal and or require urgent attention, we will contact you. To facilitate this, please make sure our reception has your current phone number and address details when booking.
