Getting your test results
Please note, we request that you do not assume that a result is normal if we do not contact you.

ACG/PNG Group Score
You may notice a test result appear in your NHS app referring to ACG/PNG Group Score. The Johns Hopkins Adjusted Clinical needs (ACG) and Patient Needs Groups (PNG) Score is a simple way of categorising patients based on their specific health needs. It helps us as a practice understand the individual needs of our patients based on their health and wellbeing to support personalised care and ensures you get the right support in a timely way.
