Blood testing
Due to social distancing guidelines in place when you enter the blood test department a member of staff the majority of the time should greet you at the entrance and complete some checks prior to you entering the department.
We are now only able to accommodate a maximum of 8 patients in the waiting area and can we please ask that ALL visitors kindly wait outside unless you require assistance.
All GP patients should visit Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust's website for more information on booking an appointment.
When your doctor or nurse has asked you to have a fasting test, this means you have nothing to eat or drink (except still water) for 12 hours before your blood test. After the test you can eat and drink as normal.
Blood test results
You will not be able to access your own blood results. The only people who can access your results, are the doctor or nurse who requested them.
How do I get my blood results?
The Department does not hold blood results. Please contact your GP or the department you were referred from.
