Phlebotomy
The Phlebotomy Department provides a phlebotomy service to both inpatients, out patients and Occupational Health.
Summary of Services Provided
- Venepuncture is the most common procedure carried out to obtain blood samples but phlebotomists are trained in obtaining blood samples from central lines e.g. Hickman and Broviac catheters and peripheral blood cultures.
- Our phlebotomy service comprises approximately two thirds of our workload while the ECG services includes the balance
