To think of missing work due to scan results?

I would ring the GP and make an appointment. I wouldn't waste a day's annual leave on that one and you clearly aren't too ill to work so throwing a sickie would not be reasonable either. Just get an appointment booked in asap

You won't work well if you are preoccupied. By all means go to the doctors. What is your type of workplace?

No I would not take the day off. I would ring my GP for an appointment and take it from there.

Yes, make rhe appointment. With the waiting lists for any procedures that might be necessary it's always best to move as quickly as possible. And if it puts your mind at rest a bit as well that's an added bonus.

Take sufficient time during the day to go to your GP appointment, explain your manager that it may take time. Can you take half day off? If you feel you need to take the full day off explain to the manager you have medical appointments that day that take time, take a sick day. Health comes first! If you go to work worried you risk making mistakes etc ( don't know what you do but would apply to most jobs). Surely people understand !

… OP maybe didn’t have that …not everyone can afford that or has private insurance…..my DD ( and many people like her) just had a scan which was far cheaper at a few hundred pounds…..a further private gp appointment to discuss was offered……but would have been £50 …..so it was a no brainer for her to just get a regular go appoint,ent and they went thru it all with her…..no consultant was involved at any time…..her own gp then referred of the back of the private scan…… guessing you have private insurance or have sufficient funds that you can afford the consultant fees…. Not everyone can

I had several private scans and they always offered me a private GP appointment after to discuss results. I also had an appointment with a private consultant who wrote to my GP herself.

it doesn’t work like that ……op won’t have a private clinician……when you have a scan….the results are emailed to you …..then you can either pay to discuss the results with a random private gp……or take them to your own gp to discuss( which is the cheaper option)

It's not possible for me to visit the doctor without taking time off so I would just take the earliest possible appointment and get it done

No drama needed. Ring the dr this morning and just ask for the earliest appointment. They may even offer you a phone one

Then why are you speaking to your GP about it? Speak to the clinician where your scan was arranged and ask them what action you should take (if any).

I would not take the day off because we need to submit econsults and hope the doctor deemed us worthy of an appointment which will usually be a week or so later. Waste of a day off. Save it for when you actually need it, unless you have a GP with appointments just waiting to be filled on Monday mornings.

Ring for the appointment but no need to take time off unless you get one.

Gallbladder polyps are very common and nothing to be concerned about. They’ll only act on them if they grow to 10mm or more. They very very rarely do. Depending on where you live they might arrange for them checking yearly. If they’re very small they might do nothing at all.
Your GP will not treat this with any urgency. There will be millions of people who have them and are blissfully unaware.
i honestly would not worry…

Ummm... I would phone your GP tomorrow, say what's happened, and see what they suggest in terms of appointments. They might be able to offer a phone call instead as this seems the type of thing that wouldn't necessarily need a face to face.

Was the scan done privately then? I didn't know you could do that and then get the NHS to follow up!

If it was urgent surely the private healthcare company would contact you to say? I would just make an appointment as soon as you can.

Gallbladder polyps are very common and don't usually require treatment unless large (over a cm) or rapidly growing. If small then they may need nothing at all doing, or you may get a scan in 6 months to check no growth.

You can book a routine GP appointment and then expect to be referred to surgery.

Go asap and take time off work if necessary, nothing is more important than health.

Polyps aren't generally an emergency unless you are sick with it I would just make an appointment for as soon as you can

So you have paid for a private scan and want your NHS GP to see you on the day you call to discuss the results....?

If the op calls her practice they can arrange an appointment as they see fit - whatever your mum's surgery does is irrelevant, my GP operates differently and I am sure that the ops surgery can establish an appropriate appointment time with the op.

No I wouldn't take time off work. I have a polyp too and it's just sat there for years. I dont think it's anything for an urgent appointment.

In that case ring tomorrow for an appointment, but I'd not take off work,

How did you get the results? Via NHS App? If so wait for your GP to call you, which they will if it's abnormal
