Booking an Appointment
Phlebotomy clinics are now operating on an appointments only basis
Walk in patients who attend clinics will be asked to make an appointment for their blood test
Patients can book at www.uhcw.nhs.uk/bloodtests – for all clinics across Coventry and Warwickshire
Family members and carers can also book through the online system on behalf of their relatives and dependents
For the minority of people who do not have internet access to book online, there is a telephone booking line – 024 7615 3546 – please note the line has limited capacity so is only for those without internet
Warwick Hospital is requesting that patients with GP blood test requests do not come onto the Warwick Hospital site solely for a blood test, please direct patients to Stratford or RSX clinics
Practices and Clinics can directly book patients into blood test clinics, if they so wish – it is quick and simple
Practices can register for a log in at: https://www.swiftqueue.co.uk/gpfacilitylogin.php#

Online booking is available at various community pharmacies and community facilities in addition to UHCW outpatient phlebotomy services
