Yes I had a blood test booked at Tessa Jowell for the 1st day of this crisis, 4 June & received a text cancelling the night before. GP surgery don’t know when it will be sorted but we’re saying check back beginning of July. A BBC tv report last week showed operations being cancelled at Kings & urgent cases being transferred to St George’s. Blood tests are being done for patients at Kings but they are taking much longer as they cannot use the software to process & everything has to be double checked manually. As my tests are not urgent I’ll just wait until they are up & running again. -
Apparently they have had to isolate the testing facility/company from the rest of the network and staff have had to revert to paper communication.

This is from the Swiftqueue booking system. IMPORTANT NOTICE - All routine phlebotomy services have now been paused until further notice at King’s College Hospital and the Tessa Jowell Healthcare Centre. If your clinician tells you your blood test is clinically urgent, please attend the phlebotomy clinic at King’s College Hospital. If you have a GP referral, your GP must indicate that your test is ‘Urgent’ on the form, otherwise we are unable to see you. You do not need to book an appointment in advance using Swiftqueue, however please turn up between the hours of 08.00 and 17:00 at King’s College Hospital where you can make a same day appointment within the clinic. We are incredibly sorry for any upset or inconvenience this has caused you. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
