Travelling in Europe

If you are travelling to Europe the EU has published useful information for travellers on the European website.

We provide blood tests for reviewing medication, monitoring long-term health conditions and where requested by a GP to investigate symptoms.

Blood tests are carried out by our trained healthcare assistants in our Phlebotomy clinics.

We only perform blood tests where requested by a GP, another member of our practice clinical team or a hospital doctor. We do not carry out private blood tests or for long-term health conditions or medication monitoring purposes where they are not needed.

The practice will only contact you about your test results if you need more tests or treatment.

Blood test results can be accessed online through the NHS App or by calling the surgery after 10am. Should you need to discuss your blood test results with a doctor, we can arrange a results phone call for you.
