Drive-through blood tests – hours reduced

Addenbrooke’s Hospital is advising that its drive-through blood testing service at Cambridge’s Newmarket Road park and ride will be operating to reduced hours tomorrow (Friday 16 Dec).

Because of essential maintenance work connected with the freezing weather it will be open between 10am and 3pm instead of 9.30am and 4.30pm. It is hoped the service, which doesn’t operate at weekends, will resume normal hours on Monday.

The service was set up in August 2020 in partnership with Cambridgeshire County Council to reduce the number of patients visiting Addenbrooke’s during the pandemic.

The speed and convenience of the service has made it extremely popular with patients with more than 5000 cars arriving every month.

A CUH spokesperson said:

We would like to apologise in advance for the inconvenience and thank patients for their understanding.
