There are changes coming to Crossley Street Surgery in the new year:

there are going to be 2 Healthcare Assistants doing Blood Test ONLY Clinics on Monday mornings 8am-1pm and Wednesday afternoons 1pm-5pm, offering lots of appointments, with a smaller clinic on a Friday 3:30pm-5pm.

From January, appointments for just blood tests will ONLY be available at these times. If you are unable to make these times then an ICE form can be provided for you to go to Sainsbury’s or Harrogate District Hospital which both offer a walk-in service.

Please note that due to strict timings, Healthcare Assistants will not have capacity to carry out any other examinations during these Blood Test Only Clinics, such as blood pressure or weight checks. We have a self-service POD which you can use to record your weight or take your blood pressure.

Finally, the nurses and Healthcare Assistants will still continue to take bloods during other appointments such as CHD reviews and NHS health checks, but they will no longer have appointments for just blood tests outside of the Blood Test Only Clinics.
