Blood tests

All diabetic patients require a blood test before their appointment. You will be sent a blood form reminder approximately six to eight weeks before your appointment. Please endeavour to book your blood test as soon as possible. Average waiting times for a blood test appointment varies from one to three weeks. Please consider using a different site for your blood test, there are six locations across our area.

Go to this page to book a blood test.

You may receive a text message reminder two to three weeks before your diabetic appointment to remind you to have a blood test. You can ignore this text if you have already had your blood test.
