There is a new way patients can book blood tests at Horton General Hospital.
Starting on Monday, July 15, patients requiring routine blood tests must schedule their appointments via the digital platform, DrDoctor.
The change aims to improve efficiency, time management at the clinics, and reduce overcrowding caused by the current 'walk-in' model.

Doctors and hospital staff will also use DrDoctor to refer patients for blood tests at Horton.
For patients unable to use the platform, appointments can be made by calling 01865 222128 or seeking staff assistance.
It should be noted that those needing one-hour blood sample processing before a clinic visit are exempt from pre-booking.
