Clinics and Services

Blood tests are requested by the clinicians for patients already on medications or with certain chronic conditions. We will contact patients when blood tests are needed.

If a clinician feels that you need a blood test this will be ordered in a consultation.

Phlebotomy Service

A phlebotomy service is available at the surgery every morning between 8am and 1pm. Patients who are unable to attend our phlebotomy clinics may also use the community service, based at Purley War Memorial Hospital, or attend the Phlebotomy Clinic at Croydon University Hospital.
