Patients can require blood tests for a number of reasons, from initial diagnoses to the management of longer-term conditions. The most appropriate phlebotomy service to use can vary from patient to patient.
General phlebotomy
For general phlebotomy, we direct the majority of patients to the ‘Bloods & Go’ service, where patients can have their bloods taken in their own time with no appointment necessary.
This service is only available if you have already seen a clinician and been advised that a blood test is required.
This service is based in Eastwood Health & Care Centre, Clarkston and is operated by East Renfrewshire Community Treatment and Care Services.
It is available to access Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 1pm; and 1:45pm to 4pm. Please note that the latest time patients can present to the service is 3:45pm to allow outstanding patients to be seen before the end of the day.
Pre-Chemo Phlebotomy
For patients requiring pre-chemo blood tests/phlebotomy, we schedule appointments with a member of our nursing team. Please call 0141 639 2753 to book, or use our online appointment request form.
