It’s in response from recent survey results which identified that patients would prefer to use an online booking system for blood tests.

The Phlebotomy Service is one of the busiest services run by Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust, delivering blood tests at clinics and home visits to the most vulnerable.

Blood tests are available for appointments at the following clinics:

• Ainsdale Centre for Health and Wellbeing, Sandbrook Road, PR8 3RW
• Churchtown, Cambridge Road, PR9 7LT
• Formby Clinic, Philips Lane, L37 4AY
• Southport Centre for Health and Wellbeing, Houghton Street, PR9 0PQ

The new booking system can be found by searching ‘Mersey Care Book my blood test’ providing flexibility and choice with time slots and different clinic sites, and supplements a similar service for GPs. Patients will still be able to call to make an appointment using the Southport and Formby booking line on 0151 285 4548 (Monday to Friday 8am to 4pm).
