As a progressive practice we are constantly looking to expand our range of services and specialist clinics.
Blood tests
Appointments
For patients requiring a blood test, appointments are available at our Park and Wheal Northey sites. There is also some limited availability at Foxhole. For those patients unable to make normal opening hours, appointments will also be available at the Carlyon Road Health Hub between 08:00 and 09:30 Monday to Friday and between 17:00 and 19:30 Monday to Thursday. Appointments can be made by calling 01726 75555 or by booking online. Please note it is essential to make an appointment for a blood test.
Please inform the receptionist if you have been asked to make a fasting blood test appointment. This will ensure an early appointment is offered to you.

Urgent Blood Tests Our staff at the Carlyon Road Health Hub still provide ‘on the day’ urgent blood tests to patients at the request of a doctor, as well as booked appointments and INR clinics. MSU (Mid Stream Urine) Tests We can only test Mid-Stream Urine Samples (MSUs) if they have been requested by our clinical staff. These samples should be brought into reception before 12:30 Monday to Friday. Please note that we are not able to process samples on a Saturday. Alternatively, for women aged 16-65, if you think you have a urinary tract infection, you can take your MSU to a local pharmacy as they may be able to issue you antibiotic treatment. |
Blood Test Results Blood test results are available online if you have a SystmOne online account or after 14:00 Monday to Friday by visiting any of our sites or phoning 01726 75555. Warfarin Monitoring (INR) Our Warfarin monitoring (INR) clinics are held at Park, Wheal Northey and at the Carlyon Road Health Hub. Patients are able to book appointments at whatever surgery site is most convenient to them. Booking is essential. More information can be obtained from the health care assistant when you attend for your next blood test. Housebound patients who are requiring INR testing will have their blood taken as normal by the District Nursing Team. |

NHS Health Check
The NHS Health check is to assess your risk of developing heart disease, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease and stroke.
It is for people aged 40 - 74. People with the following conditions are excluded from the health check, as they will already be managed by existing care pathways: patients on a cardiovascular disease (CVD) register, have been diagnosed with coronary heart disease, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, stroke, hypertension, atrial fibrillation, transient ischemic attack (TIA), hypercholesterolemia, heart failure, peripheral arterial disease (PAD), prescribed statins, or patients who have had a NHS Health Check within the last 5 years.
