Saffron Health PartnershipDue to staff shortages at the current time, we are unable to offer the amount of blood test appointments that we would like to.
We appreciate that attending the surgery is more convenient for our patients and we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
If you are asked by the surgery to have a blood test, we will be asking patients to attend either Lister or Bedford hospital please make sure that we know which hospital you would like to attend. You will need to take a paper form with you to the hospital of your choice. Only pre-booked appointments are accepted it is not a walk-in service.
Both Lister and Bedford have appointments available to book online. Please see links below.
- Bedford is at www.bedfordshirehospitals.nhs.uk/our-services/blood-tests/
- Lister is at www.enherts-tr.nhs.uk/services/blood-tests/
Please be reassured, if for health reasons you are unable to get to a hospital, we do have a limited number of appointments available at the surgery.
Our team are helpful and sensitive to all patients needs and we appreciate it can sometimes be frustrating. We do everything we can to help patients get the care they need , in return we ask our patients to be polite, patient and respectful towards us.
We will update you when we are able to offer more blood appointments. In the meantime, we thank you for your understanding.
