Blood Tests

Blood tests are performed by the health care assistant or phlebotomist for patients who have been referred for the test by a doctor.

We will be continuing the service for patients:

  • Over 80 years of age
  • With mobility issues; must require assistance (any age)
  • On medication that requires blood monitoring; every 3 months or less

INR Star blood tests are exempt from the above, however, are limited to Tuesdays and Thursdays.

For those patients that do not meet the above criteria, and the clinician requires you to have a blood test, you will be issued a form and requested to attend either:

  • L & D Hospital (14 years of age or less)
  • Arndale Centre, Luton (over 14 years) must book an appointment
  • Priory Gardens Health Centre, Dunstable (Walk-in available, Monday-Friday)
