Blood Tests
There is a Blood test (Phlebotomy) clinic at Brannam Medical Centre every morning. They are run by Sue, our Healthcare Assistant, who also helps with minor operations and does ECG’s (heart recordings) and Lynn. When a Doctor, Practice Sister or the North Devon District Hospital requests a blood test, a form is produced to tell Lynn and Sue which samples are required.
Appointments for the clinic need to be booked through Sister’s Receptionist on 01271 314236, or you can now book online for your blood tests using the Appointments Online system. Click here to go to Appointments Online.
Please remember that you will need to check in for your blood test, as you would for any other appointment.
If you book your blood test online, please be aware that you must have your blood test request form otherwise you may be turned away.
