We run many clinics for the management of chronic diseases and offer a wide variety of medical services.
Blood Tests
Most blood tests need to be done in the morning or early afternoon to ensure they get to the hospital lab in time for processing. Our healthcare assistant has appointments most mornings from 08:30 to 12:00 for all blood tests. Some later slots are also available. Again appointments can be booked at reception or over the phone.
Please advise the receptionist if you require to be fasted and we will try and give you an earlier time.
