Phlebotomy

Following feedback from Patients and GP Practices. Changes have been made to the way patients receive a blood test from 1 August 2018. You can choose to either;

• Book a morning appointment at a local GP practice including St Georges via the reception team.

OR

• Drop-in to have your test, without making an appointment Monday to Friday, 1:00pm – 5.00pm at any of the following locations

– Victoria Central Hospital, Mill Lane, Wallasey, Wirral CH44 5UF

– St Catherine’s Hospital, Church Road, Birkenhead, Wirral CH42 0LQ

– Eastham Clinic, 31 Eastham Rake, Eastham, Wirral CH62 9AN

Please make sure when attending a phlebotomy appointment you have your booking number with you. Failure to produce this will result in you not being seen by the phlebotomist.

PLEASE NOTE: Child blood tests are only undertaken at Victoria Central Hospital. This is due to the fact that all child blood tests need two staff members present and this is the only venue to guarantee this. If you are unsure were you need to go, please ask your GP Surgery.
