What will happen at my appointment?
Our phlebotomists are specially trained to ensure that your blood test is as quick and painless as possible. They will draw blood from your arm to collect samples of your blood to send to the laboratory for testing.
After your blood sample has been taken, you will be given a pad to put pressure on the site of the injection to help stop the bleeding and minimise bruising. Some bruising may still occur. Most blood tests only take a few minutes to complete. The results of your test will be sent to the healthcare professional that referred you for your blood test.
Some blood tests require you to fast (not eat or drink) before your blood test, although you may drink water – please follow the instructions from your GP.
The service operates a telephone appointment system, so please ensure you call the booking line in advance to make an appointment.
