The blood taking service at York Hospital outpatient department is open to walk in patients between 8:00am to 5:00pm, Monday to Friday. We ask, however, that patients attend the community blood taking service wherever possible.
Blood taking service (phlebotomy)
You may be asked to attend one of the below locations for a blood test.
When you enter the room, the blood taker (phlebotomist) will ask you to confirm your name and date of birth. Your blood samples will then be collected. The results of your blood tests will be reported directly to the person who requested your tests, usually your GP or consultant.
York Hospital
York Community Stadium
The new Community Stadium is on Kathryn Avenue, Monks Cross Drive, Huntington, YO32 9AF, which has free parking up to two hours. Please note there is no longer a blood taking service at ASDA, Monks Cross.
Opening times
Monday to Friday, 8.00am to 5.45pm. Quieter times are between 8am-9.30am Tuesday to Friday.
Please may we ask patients only to attend, unless requiring the support of a carer. This is due limited space within the waiting area.
Due to our service being a drop-in service, there may be occasions where patients attending after 5.15pm will be asked to return at a later date due to high numbers of patients already waiting.
As the stadium is used for a variety of events, there may be changes to opening times. Any temporary changes to opening times will be announced via the Trust's Facebook page.

Blood taking is in the main outpatients department, corridor B. This is a drop-in service and there's no need to book an appointment. Parking is available onsite with a charge.
