Phlebotomy (blood tests)
We are pleased to announce our Phlebotomy service has now been brought back 'in house'. This means we can offer blood taking appointments to patients every day of the week and also that patients no longer have to wait at the open clinic we had in the past.
Appointments with our Healthcare Assistants, Paula, Suzanne, Juliet & Lyanne are available Monday to Thursday from 8.30am to 5.00pm and on Friday mornings and can be made up to 4 weeks in advance. Patients requested by their GP to have a blood test done on a more urgent basis may be offered an alternative appointment where necessary.
Smoking Cessation Help
You can be referred by your GP to the Health Trainers for one-to-one therapy. Advice is also available from the practice nurses.
