Community phlebotomy service

Adults and children aged 12 years old and over can go to one of eight community health centres for their blood tests. This not only helps reduce waiting times in hospitals but also offers patients the service closer to where they live. The Barking and Dagenham phlebotomy service also provides blood tests for housebound patients in their own homes. See details about locations and times below.
