Due to a surge in demand for laboratory services, regrettably, effective from Monday, 25 September 2023, we will be temporarily closing our SwiftQueue Phlebotomy GP service for routine appointments.
We will continue to provide 10 emergency SwiftQueue Phlebotomy appointments each day for critical patients to attend for urgent phlebotomy services. These appointments will be accessed by GPs only and will require the Healthlink form and the clinical need for urgent bloods.
The Phlebotomy Service provides blood tests for all hospital inpatients, day care/day surgery patients and those attending outpatient clinics, including the Warfarin Clinic.
In addition, it supports the Emergency Department, the Haematology/Oncology Day Clinics and the Pre-operative Assessment Clinics. The department also provides a general practitioner (GP) phlebotomy service.
The Phlebotomy Department is part of the Laboratory Medicine (LabMed) Directorate.
