Southport and Formby patients given access to online booking system for blood tests
Southport and Formby patients will be able to arrange their own blood tests online using ‘Simply Book’ https://www.merseycare.nhs.uk/mybloodtest
It aims to ease the demand on services and is in response to a recent survey which identified that patients would prefer to use an online booking system for their blood tests.
Our Phlebotomy Service is historically one of the busiest services run by Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust in your area. The online booking system, which goes live on 4 July 2023 for bookings for week commencing 17 July 2023 will provide flexibility and patient choice with time slots and different clinic sites.
Phlebotomy clinics are by appointment only and patients will need to book either via https://www.merseycare.nhs.uk/mybloodtest or the appointment booking line on 0151 285 4548 (Monday to Friday 8am to 4pm).
