Blood test for adults

Blood Tests at Southam Surgery

The majority of blood tests are performed by our nursing and healthcare assistants here at the surgery.

If your doctor has asked for you to have a blood test please speak to Reception who will book you an appointment.

They take place every morning until 11am. Unfortunately, we cannot offer afternoon appointments for phlebotomy due to the times that samples are collected for transport to Warwick Hospital.

Blood test for children

Blood tests for children under the age of 12 years cannot be carried out at the Surgery. These will need to be carried out by MacGregor Ward (Children’s Ward) at Warwick Hospital.

Blood tests on MacGregor ward are by appointment only and need to be arranged by the parent or guardian of the child. Please telephone 01926 495321 (extension 4047/4048) to arrange this.

Collection of samples from the surgery

All samples are collected from the Surgery at 11am daily.

It is important that all samples are brought to us before this time otherwise you will miss the collection for the day.

If samples are stored overnight in the fridge it may affect their integrity so that the result is no longer accurate. This is particularly important for stool (faeces) and sputum (phlegm) samples.

Sample pots

You will usually be given a sample pot if required but if you need a spare then please collect these from the Reception or local pharmacy

Red pots: Urine samples when testing for infection

Blue pots: Stool samples

White pots: Sputum and specific types of urine samples (please check with your Doctor if you require your urine sample to be collected in one of these pots).

Referral for XRay

If your Doctor recommends that you have an x-ray they will have given you a paper form.

It will then be your responsibility to book your x-ray. The various options for booking your x-ray are outlined below:
