Types of Test


Blood Tests

We offer both fasting and non fasting blood tests every day, from Monday to Friday. Blood tests take about 6 minutes to complete.

The easiest way to book your blood test is via the NHS App.

Alternatively, you can call us on 01373 301301.

Most blood tests are requested by a health care professional electronically, but if you are given a form regarding your blood test please make sure you bring it with you to your appointment.


Electrocardiogram

Frome Medical Practice offers ECG tests, when a healthcare professional has decided one is needed.

ECGs, which take about 15 minutes, are available on a daily basis and can be booked by telephoning 01373 301301.


Urine Tests

We do not test urine unless this has been requested by a health professional. If you have been requested to provide a urine sample, bottles are available for patients to collect at the Information Desk.
