The Community Phlebotomy Service provides domiciliary visits to housebound patients and non-housebound patients through our pre-appointed services for GP referrals only. Patients need to be registered with a Brighton and Hove GP before we can take your blood. This service is not available for referrals from any other source, eg consultants.
Domiciliary or home visits
Our phlebotomists are available to visit from 8am-3pm. Your GP will complete a ‘Community Phlebotomy Referral Form’ which is sent to the team. After we receive this referral you will get a call from the team to arrange your visit. This service is only available for patients who are unable to leave their home and who would usually receive a home visit from their GP.
