As from Monday 13 January the Blood Collection services will be located at Duke Street Feilding. The new rooms are easy to be seen as they are situated at the front of the Feilding Health Care Centre facility directly on Duke Street.

For patients who require blood tests there is no longer any need to go to a different destination as this is now a service at Feilding Health Care. Patients will have the convenience of saving time and travel.

Herman Venter, General Manager of Med Lab, says,”the new location at Duke Street is a good move. We have a great working relationship with Feilding Health Care. Patients will be able to go straight from one area to the next on the same site. It will be a one stop shop.”

Having this extra facility at Duke Street, alongside Broadway Radiology that have the ultrasound and x-rays is a huge gain for Feilding and District patients to have quality services all at the same location.

The former Warwick Street site for blood collection is now closed.

The familiar face of Sue O’Fee, along with others will be working at the Duke Street location.

“The same fast turnaround will continue to be available at the new and bright facility opening on Monday, says “Sue O’Fee. “Now, if your Doctor requests a blood test from you, it is made easier to be in the one location. You will be welcomed by the receptionist at the new rooms, patients will still be given a number for their turn to be seen. The opening hours remain the same 8am-4.15pm.”

Currently around 2,700 blood samples are collected per month.

Construction of FHC blood collection rooms is underway. From the 13th of January 2020 you can have blood taken from our new rooms that will be located alongside Broadway Radiology here at FHC. No more running across town when you need a blood test, you can just pop up the corridor!
