Who we are

Our phlebotomy service takes blood samples from patients who have been identified as needing a blood test.

Blood tests have a wide range of uses and are one of the most common types of medical test. For example, a blood test can be used to:

• assess your general state of health

• confirm the presence of a bacterial or viral infection

• see how well certain organs, such as the liver and kidneys, are functioning

Who is our service for? 

This service is for patients who are aged 14 and over who are registered with a Sefton GP. 

What will happen at your appointment

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.

Your healthcare professional will give you a form for your blood test – please bring this form with you so we know which tests your healthcare professional needs. For more information about blood tests please download our blood tests in Sefton (phlebotomy) leaflet. 

If you are housebound, please speak to your GP who can arrange a home visit appointment on your behalf. 

Our clinics 

Currently our clinics are only availble in South Sefton and this service is by appointment only. To make an appointment, telephone: 0151 475 4007.

Can we please ask that patients do not use Breeze Hill Clinic as this is a Liverpool Clinic, and not for use by patients registered at a South Sefton doctors surgery.
