for free to women between the age of 25 and 60. In order to avail of this
service, you will need to register with cervicalcheck, either by phone,

After you have registered

Phlebotomy
Clinics
Phlebotomy Clinics (blood test clinic) are
held on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings between 9:30 and 11 am. If fasting blood
tests are required (e.g. fasting cholesterol or blood sugar
level) or blood tests which need to be delivered to the
hospital for testing on the same day as the sample is taken,
appointments should be made early in the morning. Most
other blood tests can be taken at any time.
Please note: due to the
large number of tests taken on a daily basis it is not
possible for patients to be contacted individually with
results so it is important that you contact the surgery for
your results. We would appreciate if you could do this between
the hours of 3pm and 4.30.
