Accessing hospital test results online

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust are introducing new features to make accessing your healthcare information easier.

You may already receive some test result information from your GP digitally via the NHS App. Soon, you’ll also be able to access reports from hospital radiology tests (e.g., X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans) and pathology test results (e.g., blood tests, biopsies, urine analyses). These will be available for you to view in the NHS App and our online patient portal, Patients Know Best.

To ensure your clinician has enough time to review your results and contact you if necessary to discuss the findings, new radiology reports will be shared with you digitally 35 days after the scan.

Before we go ahead with these changes, we want to understand your views, questions, and concerns so that we can provide clear and helpful information about these new features.

To keep up to date about the launch of these new features, please visit this webpage: https://www.mse.nhs.uk/patients-know-best-pkb. It will be updated as more information becomes available.
