Where to get blood tests?

Not looking for medical advice, just wanna know what the craic is with blood tests. Can you get them done in any GP or is there a specific place I'd need to go?

Thanks

Pretty sure you can go to a GP, OP. Normally takes a week or so to come back depending on the test.

Gp ususally, though it depends - if you visit the hospital/outpatients dpt. you can get them done for free by the phlebotomist instead.

My GP always made appts for me in a hospital

Wish they had done it though - hate all that messing about...

soem GP's do them, some will refer you to the hospital outpatients, but as far as I know, you'll need to go through your GP first

If you are a student, college health services do them. It's not free like consultations are- should be €15.

The nurse in the GPs can do them... Saves €50 odd as well!

Just remember if you want your Cholestrol checked you should be fasting over night so book an early appointment.

No it's a thyroid thing I wanna get checked out. Will see if I can get it done in college.
