North West London Pathology (Phlebotomy)

Phlebotomy (taking blood)

Routine tests ordered by a GP

We no longer offer a service for blood tests requested by a GP (the only exception is for urgent or specialised tests that have to be processed on the same day).

If a doctor from Hillingdon or Mount Vernon hospitals has asked you to have a blood test before your next appointment you must book an appointment at one hospital or the other (to suit you).

This does not apply to patients sent directly from an outpatient clinic on the same day, or those requiring specialised tests that need to be processed on the same day. These patients will be seen without the need to book.

Please remember to bring a printed copy of the request form given to you by the doctor, as without this you will not be seen.

Please remember to fast if instructed to do so; water is permitted.

Children aged 10-16 can be seen at Hillingdon Hospital only. For children under 10, please contact Rainbow Ward via the Hillingdon Hospital switchboard on 01895 238282.

Please do not arrive more than five minutes before your appointment time.
