Our Services A - Z - Phlebotomy Services
About the service
The Trust provides a number of Phlebotomy Services within Whiston and St Helens hospitals and also in the community across Halton, Knowsley and St Helens.
Our phlebotomy service takes blood samples from patients aged 16 and over who have been referred to the service by their healthcare professional for a blood test.
The results from blood tests can be used to help:
- Make a diagnosis of illness or infection (or rule something out)
- Monitor treatment
- Monitor the health of someone with a long-term health condition.
GPs and other healthcare professionals refer patients to the service when they need a blood test to be taken.
Our Phlebotomy clinics now use an online booking system for patients over the age of 16. To book an appointment, for a blood test, at one of our clinics please follow this link.
If you need to book an appointment for a child under the age of 16, please telephone 0151 430 1702.
Please Note - Blood forms must be brought to the appointment.
We would love to hear your feedback regarding our appointment system
Because there were significant queueing times for patients attending to have their bloods taken an appointment system has been introduced, with an on-line booking facility and also a telephone booking alternative or those patients who are not able to book on line.
We value patients feedback so would be grateful if you could complete our short survey below:

- Additional Information
Our phlebotomists are specially trained to ensure that your blood test is as quick and painless as possible. They will draw blood from your arm to collect samples of your blood to send to the laboratory for testing.
After your blood sample has been taken, you will be given a pad to put pressure on the site of the injection to help stop the bleeding and minimise bruising. Some bruising may still occur. Most blood tests only take a few minutes to complete.
The results of your test will be sent to the healthcare professional who referred you for your blood test.
