The blood form is a requirement for your appointment so please remember to bring it along. If you have not received a blood form, but have been instructed to attend a hospital clinic, please contact your GP practice directly before attending.

Please do not attend these clinics if you are experiencing symptoms of coronavirus.

Please continue to socially distance from others and wear a face covering whilst attending any NHS site, including your local hospital, GP surgery or community clinic, as per current government guidance, available at: https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus 

Only the patient requiring the blood test should enter the clinic unless assistance is required by a carer or relative for the duration.
