The practice has staff trained to take bloods for tests at the hospital.  Please remember that blood transported to the hospital may not give the same high quality results as blood taken at the hospital and processed soon thereafter.  We limit the numbers we can do to those patients who are unwell and infirm and for whom a journey to the hospital would be an ordeal.
