You should get your results in writing and the doctor should get them at the same time. They normally take a week.

I would have thought they would go to whoever requested the scan - so to your consultant first if they referred you for it, then on the your GP with a copy to yourself, contextualised with the original GP referral, and Ive usually been told a week to 10 days.

Hi Iain, I live in Beekshire and had a ct scan on the Friday after a request from the respiratory doctor at the hospital and had the results on the Monday. Although the nurse that did the scan said it takes a week to ten days. It's all sent through electronically so I would call whoever requested the scan for you and chase it up. Hope you hear soon.
