Hi Everyone

The term appears in various contexts in a research paper I was editing. I was hoping for something with the word 'consultation' in it because it would be more in keeping with the remaining terminology used. I chose Liesbeth's entry for some of the uitslaggesprekken and used a workaround for some others. Follow-up appointment (although I think it sounds more natural) was not an option because it was already being used to denote any consultation after the first appointment.

And I did actually find results appointment on some North American websites as well.

Thanks for your input! Knowing that there is perhaps no single most obvious term was also helpful.

Hi Lianne,

Yes, maybe it's more UK usage... Perhaps CI95 can enlighten us as to the context.

It may be UK English. Results appt definitely makes sense, but I had not heard of it as such and when I googled it my results only showed phrases with "results. Appointment" etc. that did not have anything to do with the intended. The asker does not provide any sentence or context, so it would be hard to say imo.

Hi All, yes, follow-up appointment is in wide-spread use, but it covers more than a consultation 'specifically to discuss test results'. It can come after an operation or other procedure, or after a course of treatment, that's why I proposed results appointment in this instance...
