Online bookings
To book appointments online, please visit
http://www.nelft.nhs.uk/wf-blood-test and follow the link for the clinic you wish to attend.
If you are unable to book your own appointment, a relative or carer can also register to book on your behalf.
Blood tests at home
If you need a blood test but are unable to leave home because of health or mobility reasons then please let us know so we can arrange for a phlebotomist to visit you at home.
Blood tests for children
The community phlebotomy service is available to all children aged 10 and over. Children under the age of 10 requiring a blood test should attend Whipps Cross Hospital in the outpatient’s department which runs on Tuesday and Thursdays only from 9:30 am – 3:30 pm.
