North east. We went to our appointment at 11am and had the text result same day by 6pm. Was advised 24 hours max to hear back.

Usually between 24-48 hours.

Ours advise 24 to 48 hours but in reality they are usually back about 12 hours later. If you took your dd first thing then there will be a mid morning run to the lab and then another run at teatime.

Both times I’ve been into the centres I’ve had results in just shy of 24 hours.

DC had a test at walk in last week, was about 20 hours for results.

Who do you ring to chase a result?

@purpleme12

Who do you ring to chase a result?
There should be freephone number on your test receipt card.

I've rang 119 but they just say wait till Saturday morning as still within time frame

If my child is negative then I've got to be too anyway! I'm sure it's just a normal cough I just got a test cos you've got to
