Phlebotomy Service – making it easier for people to get the tests they need

Phlebotomy means taking a small sample of blood using a needle. It helps doctors check your health and diagnose medical conditions. This work is carried out by trained staff called phlebotomists.

Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP)’s Phlebotomy Service provides both clinic appointments and home visits. As well as taking blood samples, staff can check blood pressure, pulse and collect urine samples. It’s a very busy service, taking around 17,500 blood samples every month. All referrals come from GP practices.
