IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Where possible, patients should attend their appointment unaccompanied. Where this is not possible only one person should attend with the patient and children should not be brought on site unless unavoidable.

At Hampshire Hospitals, we are trying to reduce our plastic comsumption, consequently there are no longer any water dispensers in any departments at each of our hospitals. We would encourage you to bring your own water when attending for appointments and there are free water dispensers available in the restaurants for re-fills.

Useful information

Polite Notice - Phlebotomy Service Update:

Please be advised that numbing spray is no longer available as part of our phlebotomy service.

For those who would prefer a numbing option, we recommend EMLA cream, which provides effective, long-lasting numbing.

This should be applied to the inside of both elbows up to 1 hour before your appointment. This can be purchased over the counter at most pharmacies or prescribed by your GP.

We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
