Blood Tests
If you are asked to bring in a specimen please do so before 11:00am Monday to Friday, as they are collected and taken to St. George's Hospital.
We have a trained Phlebotomist and Healthcare Assistants on both sites who are able to take blood tests requested by the Doctor or Practice Nurse. Appointments are available Monday – Friday from 8am to 12pm.
If you have been asked to have a FASTING blood test, you need to attend in the morning, having had nothing to eat from midnight the night before. You may have a drink of water on the morning of the blood test, but not tea, coffee, fruit juice etc.
