Community Phlebotomy Service
Need to book an appointment?
The Bromley GP Alliance Phlebotomy Service takes blood samples from patients who have been identified by their GP as needing a blood test. This service is offered to anyone registered to a GP within Bromley. If a blood test has been requested from the Hospital then patients should utilise the walk in services.
Phlebotomy is the process of taking blood from a patient to be sent to the hospital for analysis. Blood tests are used to help obtain a diagnosis for illness – or rule them out, monitor treatment, and help patients, alongside their GPs, to manage long term health conditions.
The majority of blood tests only take a few minutes and are carried out by a phlebotomist (a specialist in taking blood samples from patients).
How do I get an appointment?
We have now launched an online phlebotomy booking system for those who need to book a GP requested appointment, click here to book.
Phlebotomy appointments are available across the service between 8:00am-6:30pm from Monday to Friday.
If you are required to have a blood test, you will be able to book online using our booking system. Whilst patients will no longer need to use the telephone line to book appointments, the phlebotomy booking line (0203 930 0245) will still be available to patients Monday-Friday (08:00-5:00pm).

Extremely efficient service, the best I have ever experienced for a blood test. Extremely covid safe.
We were so impressed with the service for my daughter’s blood test. She is only 17 & anxious about blood tests.
Booking on line was such a pleasure and the reminder was very thoughtful. The nurse was lovely. Excellent service. Well done.
