Waiting results from dermatologist

Hey everyone, i had my appoitment at teledermatology today as i was urgently reffered from my gp (the 2ww 2 week wait process). But my gp appoitment was the 18th and i had my teledermatology appoitment on the 24th. They took the medical photographs and said i should receive my results within 2 to 3 weeks. Has anyone ever been in the same situation, how long did there results take after the appoitment? I should get a letter or phone call, but does it mean its bad or good depending on how you get the results. Any replies would be appreciated, thank you!!!

  • Hello and thanks for your post

    I’m sorry you are awaiting some results and appreciate this must be an anxious time for you.

    Usually, patients are told at the appointment when and how they will receive the test results.

    Individual hospitals can vary in the way their patients receive their results. They can be given them face to face (even when it is good news)  or by letter or telephone.

    Sometimes there can be a slight delay getting results so try not to worry or over think too much if the 2 weeks comes and goes without hearing anything but if another week passes it is worth then chasing things up.

    I hope everything turns out to be okay. Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Best wishes,

    Celene
