Results
Test results
Your doctor will tell you during your appointment when to expect your results, and whether you can call for them or need to book a follow-up.
If a doctor gives you your results over the phone, a consultation fee may apply. If you're unsure, ask at the start of the call.

Privacy
Your privacy
We take the privacy of your health information seriously. Our patient privacy policy explains how we collect, store and use your health information; ask reception for a copy. How this website handles the information you give it is in our website privacy policy.
AI note-taking
Some doctors at Deepdene Surgery use Heidi Health, an AI scribe that helps them write clinical notes during your consultation. This lets your doctor focus on you rather than the keyboard. If you have questions about how it works, or would prefer it not be used in your appointment, please let your doctor know.
