Bolton FT have a quick and easy-to-use online system to book blood tests for patients aged 18 and over and children under the age of 12, who have been referred by their healthcare professional.

The results from blood tests can be used to help:

Make a diagnosis of illness or infection (or rule something out)
Monitor treatment
Monitor the health of someone with a long-term health condition.

GPs and other healthcare professionals can refer patients to the service when they need a blood test to be taken that they cannot do in their clinic or surgery.

Pharmacy First

Don't wait for minor health concerns to get worse – think pharmacy first and get seen by your local pharmacy team.

Community pharmacies can offer treatment for seven common conditions without patients needing to see a GP, as part of a major transformation in the way the NHS delivers care.

Highly trained pharmacists at more than nine in ten pharmacies can now assess and treat patients for earache, impetigo, infected insect bites, shingles, sinusitis, sore throat, urinary tract infections (UTIs) for women aged 16-64 - without the need for a GP appointment.

Available on the high-street, community pharmacy teams have the right clinical training to give people the health advice they need, with no appointment necessary and private consultations available.

Community pharmacists will signpost patients to other local services where necessary.

Contraception services are also available at your local pharmacy!
