 Patient Bloods

Patients’ attending clinic for blood tests only are asked to arrive between 9.30 and 11.00. During busy times it may be necessary for patients to go to the phlebotomy clinic in the main hospital to have their bloods taken. Clinic appointments are limited to a manageable number dependant on how many Doctors are available.
