Important Update: Community Phlebotomy Service Changes
We have just been informed that the Community Phlebotomy Service previously delivered within GP surgeries will no longer be provided. This decision has been made by the ICB (Integrated Care Board), and the service will cease from Monday, 15th September.

As a result:

All blood test appointments scheduled between 16th September and the end of October have unfortunately been cancelled.
At this time, we do not have capacity to rebook these appointments until our new nurse joins the practice.
If your blood test has been requested as urgent, please take your blood form directly to:

The Healthport
Fulwood, Preston, PR2 8DW

We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding during this transition. We will keep you updated as the situation evolves.
