The Edward Jenner Unit provides services for patients with blood conditions, immune problems, and allergies. We also run a blood test service for GP patients and outpatients.

Blood test services

The majority of blood test services are carried out at GP surgeries and other community settings, in order to:

  • improve services
  • reduce waiting times
  • avoid the need for patients to travel to Gloucestershire Royal or Cheltenham General Hospital

Some patients may still need to come to our hospitals for blood tests, including patients who:

  • require specialist tests
  • are under the care of a hospital consultant
  • are aged 6 to 11 years old
