We carry out blood tests between 8am and 12pm Monday to Friday. An appointment is needed for all blood tests.

Fasting requirements vary slightly depending on the test but the safe rule is nothing except water for 12 hours prior to the test.

Further information on blood tests can be found on this HSE website.
