If your doctor has referred you for a blood test, please book your phlebotomy (blood test) appointment online in advance.

The system helps to keep patients safer through social distancing by reducing the number of patients in any one location at a specific time. At the moment, you can only book your appointment up to seven days in advance.

How to book your phlebotomy appointment

If you have a registered MyCare UCLH (patient portal) account, just sign into MyCare on your computer, phone or tablet and select “Book a new appointment”.

If you do not have a MyCare UCLH account, you can still book your appointment online here.
