At present, we do not have nursing appointments for blood tests outside of our phlebotomy/blood clinics, which are on Monday and Wednesday. However, you can use the link below to book your blood test appointment at Royal Berkshire Hospital Reading and Brants Bridge Bracknell. Visit www.swiftqueue.co.uk/royal_berkshire.php.
Blood tests can only be done once you have been referred by a clinician. You are unable to self refer.
We are also no longer able to perform blood tests for children under 15 years old. These will need to be completed at the Kempton Ward at the Royal Berkshire Hospital. Visit www.swiftqueue.co.uk/royal_berkshire.php. Furthermore, hospital phlebotomy tests, which a hospital clinician has requested for a patient, must be undertaken using the hospital phlebotomy services rather than the practice. This will ensure that the test result goes directly to the requesting hospital doctor, in addition to the practice not being resourced to undertake hospital-requested tests. We will make some exceptions, but the GP will decide on this on a case-by-case basis.
