The Phlebotomy Service operates within the Grimsby Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) located in the Freshney Place shopping centre, Grimsby, and can be used for 16 yrs+.
Patients are encouraged to use the web link and QR code in practice to book their own appointment. Blood forms should be given to the patient to take with them to their appointment at the CDC.
The clinician is required to provide the patient with a request form that they can bring to their appointment or generate a WebV request so that the reception staff at the CDC are able to print this for the patient on their arrival.
If patients are not digitally enabled, or are not confident booking their appointment online, Care Navigators at the practice can assist with the process or book on behalf of the patient.
This process is not a replacement for requesting blood tests via Web V. It is simply an access route for booking an appointment. Web V should still be used to request tests, and blood forms must be given to the patient to take with them to their appointment.
Where secondary care has requested bloods following an outpatient appointment, the patient will be given a blood form at their OP appointment.
