Your hospital appointments and test results

Hospital follow up appointments

We aren’t able to chase up your hospital follow up appointments. Please contact the hospital directly. The phone number is usually at the top of your last clinic letter.

Results of tests requested by your hospital consultant

We are unable to give you the results of tests that have been arranged by the hospital. This is because the results will need interpretation by the specialist who can recommend what happens next. Please contact the hospital directly if you feel you have been waiting a long time for the results.

If you are struggling with aspects related to your hospital/specialist care please contact the ‘PALS’ (Patient advice and liaison service) for the hospital concerned. For Tameside General Hospital the number is 0161 922 4466 or Healthwatch Tameside.

New referrals

If you have recently been referred for a hospital appointment and have not received any information from the hospital after 4 weeks, we are able to check that the referral has been successfully sent and received by the hospital.

If you have received a letter from the hospital, and are waiting for further information, please do not contact the practice about this unless you condition has become much worse. Instead contact the number on your hospital letter.

Use the form below to check if your referral has been sent by the practice.
