Patients can book appointments via the HHFT Trust website: Blood tests

Alternatively, we have a telephone booking line 01256 314751. This number has a high call volume and there may be a queue, so we would advise using the online booking system where possible for a more efficient service. Please select option 1 for our automated booking line for standard adult appointments.  Please use option 2 for urgent, paediatric or special needs appointments. Where there are special needs please inform the administrator so a note can be added to your appointment.

If you require an appointment for a child please click on the paediatrics tab for further information.

Please remember that there are no longer any water dispensers across the hospitals; patients are encouraged to bring their own water, and re-fills are available in the restaurants.
