North Middlesex University Hospital (NMUH) provides blood test services for children. Blood test services vary depending on a child's age:

• children under the age of two are seen by paediatrics
• children over the age of two are managed by the outpatients department.

Fasting blood tests are no longer offered. NMUH's paediatric consultants advise this is almost always unnecessary. GPs have been advised what to do if they believe a fasting blood test is needed.

Please note: There is no walk-in service available.

Children's outpatient clinic

Any patients that arrive to the children's outpatient clinic after 4.30pm will, unfortunately, not be seen. The service treats children as a priority in the clinic and sees them as soon as possible.

Children aged between 2-16 should attend the children's outpatient clinic with a parent or carer.

If parents/carers have any issues booking their appointment online, they should call t: 020 8887 3663 / 3664. The call centre receives a high volume of calls, resulting in long wait times.
