Paediatric Phlebotomy

At Skin Sense Private GP Chelmsford, we make children’s blood tests calm, gentle, and stress-free, ensuring a positive experience for both child and parent.

Procedure

Paediatric phlebotomy at our clinic is adapted to suit children’s physical and emotional needs. The process begins with a discussion between the phlebotomist, the child, and the parent or guardian.

To minimise discomfort, a topical numbing cream can be applied to the skin before the blood draws. We use equipment specifically designed for children, and our team is trained in techniques that help reduce stress and fear.The sample is collected, sent to a specialist laboratory for analysis. Throughout the process, we prioritise a gentle approach in a reassuring setting.

What to Expect at the Clinic:

Medical History Review: On arrival, you’ll be asked to complete a brief medical history form, including any medications or conditions your child may have.
Preparation and Explanation: A skilled phlebotomist will explain the procedure in a child-friendly manner and answer any questions.
Optional Numbing Cream: Applied on request to reduce any sensation at the puncture site.
Blood Collection: Carried out quickly and with minimal stress, using age-appropriate tools.
Aftercare: Simple advice will be provided, such as keeping a pressure bandage on for a few hours.
Results & Follow-Up: Most results are available within 24 to 72 hours, depending on the type of test. Follow-up discussions are offered where needed.

Price

The cost of the treatment is determined by each patient’s individual needs and the personalised approach required for their treatment.
