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 who referred you for your blood test.
Changing or cancelling your appointment
If you can’t attend your appointment, that's not a problem - it’s an easy process to cancel and rearrange. We can then ensure that any unwanted appointments can be reallocated, which will help reduce overall waiting times.
If you need to change or cancel your blood test booking, please use the link in your booking confirmation email or follow this link and click on 'My Bookings'.
Important information

It is important that you bring the paper blood form given to you by your GP/referrer. If you have not been given a form please contact your GP and ask them for one.
