Phlebotomy Service (Venous Blood Sample)

Before your test you should check the instructions from your service provider to see if you need to fast (avoid eating or drinking anything except water) before coming into clinic.

You should make sure that you keep yourself hydrated, by drinking lots of water which will make you feel calmer, and help with the blood draw.

It is quite usual to feel a little bit nervous before having a blood test. The nurse will do their best to put you at ease, and please do discuss any concerns you do have.

The nurse will discuss the process with you and ask you a few questions to make sure that you are fit for the phlebotomy service. They will then take the sample.

Following the blood draw the sample will be labelled and handed to you for you to return it to your medic. Unless it is a Superdrug test your results will be available from your provider, Superdrug will not have access to your results or health information.

We are only able to see patients aged 16 and over for phlebotomy.
