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.
 

Outpatient Service:

Please note our Phlebotomy clinics are appointment only, we do not operate a walk-in service.

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

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.

Translation Services:

If translation services are required, please advise at the time of booking

Please note paediatric appointments must be booked via our telephone booking line 01256 314751 (and not via our online booking system) as multiple appointment slots are required.
