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.

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.

Frome Medical Practice offers Eltrocardiogram (ECG) tests, when a clinician has decided one is needed.

ECGs are available on a daily basis. They take approximately 15 minutes to complete.
