Phlebotomy

Following feedback from Patients and GP Practices. Changes have been made to the way patients receive a blood test from July 2019:

• Please contact the surgery on 0151 630 2080 to arrange a pre-bookable blood test appointment with our phlebotomist at St Georges Medical Centre. We offer appointments at the surgery Monday to Friday, including early morning appointments. Please make sure you drink plenty of water in time for your appointment. Being well hydrated allows for the phlebotomist to draw your blood with greater ease.

  Please note drop in clinics are no longer available at Victoria Central Hospital

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.
