Blood tests have a wide range of uses and are one of the most common types of medical test. A blood test can be used to:
- assess your general state of health
- check if you have an infection
- see how well certain organs, like the liver and kidneys, are working
- screen for certain genetic conditions
Please call the practice on 01899 220383 after 9am if you have been asked to book a blood test by a clinician.
