Patients in Oxfordshire can now have blood tests at the Community Diagnostic Centre in Oxford. The Community Diagnostic Centre is a collaboration between Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Perspectum.
Your healthcare provider has referred you for a blood test. Blood tests can work towards aiding a diagnosis and monitoring a range of medical conditions. This leaflet provides information about the scan, how to prepare, and what to expect during your appointment.
The Oxford Community Diagnostic Centre can only see those over the age of 16 for Phlebotomy Services.
The CDC operates a walk in service for phlebotomy. This means you can walk into the clinic without an appointment and still be seen.
However, to avoid delays, we recommend that you book via our MyDrDoctor.
Alternatively, call our bookings team on: 01865 226644.
Transport:
If you are a hospital transport patient, please contact the transport team to arrange this on: 0300 100 0015.
If you are unable to arrange for hospital transport yourself, please contact our booking office as we will need to rearrange your appointment on: 01865 226644.
Support:
You can bring a relative or friend, but they will not be able to come into the scan with you. We also ask that you refrain from bringing any unattended children to your appointments.
You can be seen through the NHS or as a private patient. You’ll need a referral first, and we’ll check it to make sure this service is right for you.
