🩸 Changes to Hospital Blood Test Requests:
From 3 April 2026, Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust have introduced a new system for requesting blood tests following the launch of their electronic patient record system.
If the hospital asks you to have a blood test, you will now receive a letter with a barcode label 📩
🏥 Booking at the Surgery
Please call us as usual to book your appointment
You’ll be asked who requested the test
Bring your barcode label to your appointment
⚠️ Without this label, we won’t be able to take your blood sample, as we don’t have access to the hospital’s system.
📍 Community Blood Test Appointments
You can also book at community locations by calling 01803 655544:
Torbay Hospital: Mon–Fri, 8:30am–5pm
Brixham Hospital: Tues & Fri, 9am–1:20pm
Paignton Health & Wellbeing Centre: Wed, 8:30am–3:40pm
We understand this is a change to the usual process and appreciate your patience 💙
If you have any questions, please contact your hospital specialist team directly.

We understand that some patients are concerned following recent reports of a meningococcal (MenB) outbreak in Kent, and we are currently receiving a high volume of enquiries.

Public health authorities, including UK Health Security Agency, are closely managing this situation. Unless you have been specifically advised to contact us by NHS 111, we kindly ask that you do not contact the practice about this, so we can prioritise those who need urgent care.

The MenB vaccine is part of the routine NHS childhood immunisation programme and has been offered to babies born on or after 1st May 2015. Most people born before this date will not have received it as part of the standard schedule. You can check your child’s vaccination status using the NHS App.

At present, the MenB vaccine is not routinely available on the NHS for adults outside of specific eligibility groups, and there is not sufficient supply to offer vaccination outside of the national programme. Unfortunately, this means we are unable to provide MenB vaccination at the practice in response to the current situation.

If you or your child develop symptoms suggestive of meningitis — such as a high fever, headache, neck stiffness, sensitivity to light, vomiting, or a rash — please seek urgent medical advice straight away by contacting NHS 111 or attending urgent care services.
