New Blood Test Service in village

Good news for those needing blood tests in Milford on Sea!

From Monday, a new phlebotomy clinic will be run by New Forest Pharmacy and will take place in the hearing centre in the Milford on Sea War Memorial Hospital. 

The clinic will be open to anyone aged 16 or over who has been asked to take a blood test and has the necessary medical paperwork. Initially the clinic will run only on Mondays but will be extended to five days a week through the coming months.

Chair of the Milford on Sea League of Friends Health Hub, Mary Rutherford, said this is great news for the people of Milford. 

The survey which the Health Hub commissioned in 2022 identified the provision of locally provided blood tests to be a service of ‘great importance’ to our local community. We are delighted to report we have been listened to.

Interim Deputy Hampshire Place Director, Catherine Bowell, added: “This service is coming into place following feedback from residents. “This is wonderful news for patients, who will receive blood testing services more locally and in a familiar place.”
