Members of our practice nurse team take blood samples every morning at both our Moulton and Waterside Campus Surgeries for investigations arranged by our nurses or doctors, or one of the hospital doctors. Samples are transported to the hospital laboratory at lunchtime and therefore no blood samples are taken during the afternoon.
Due to demand on our services we are unable to offer everyone a blood test at the surgery. You may be asked to book an appointment at the hospital whhich can be done by clicking here or calling 01604 544190.
If you are unable to get to the hospital please contact us to book an appointment byclicking here or calling 01604 644126.
For a fasting blood test you should have nothing to eat or drink except for water and any medicines that you need to take, for 12 hours before your test appointment. Make sure that you have a good drink of water before coming for your sample so that you are not dehydrated, which could lead to you needing to repeat your kidney blood tests.
