Prior booking of your specific blood test is required ahead of attending your appointment.

This means will have ordered the blood test from our pathology laboratory and booked the courier for delivery of the sample.

Your appointment will take 5-15 minutes. Only attend your appointment if you feel well. Drinking a pint of water 30 mins ahead of your appointment time will increase the chance of a successful blood draw and fewer needle sticks.

Once you blood has been drawn the site must be kept covered for 30 minutes. You can continue your normal daily duties after this appointment, with care and attention being given to the site.

Your sample will then be sent to our laboratory in Birmingham and results will be sent to us within a few days. These results will then be interpreted, and you will be contacted with your results. If there is a concern in the results, the lab will contact us on our out of hours number and you will be contacted as soon as possible.

Your results can then be discussed with your health practitioner or referrer.
