Blood collection (children)

Blood collection for children under 12

Please visit the main blood collection (phlebotomy) page for children aged 12 and over.

Where possible we endeavour to provide a blood collection service on the day of your clinic appointment for bloods requested by your consultant.

A play specialist attends during the Wednesday afternoon session to help support children who may find it difficult to have bloods taken.

Please ensure you bring along your request form as we are unable to obtain a blood without it. 

Telephone between 12 and 1.30pm to arrange an appointment.
