Cowley is now host to the recently developed Oxford Community Diagnostic Centre. This is a site which can provide blood tests, ‘x-rays’, ultrasounds, CTs, MRIs, echocardiograms and more.
The Centre
- Will reduce waiting times
- Provide services nearer patient homes in a quieter location than the acute hospital sites
- Has free parking!!
There is a drop-in x-ray service (for people aged 18 and over)
Once your GP has requested your x-ray (electronically so no paperwork to take) please attend the Centre between 8.30am – 4.30pm Monday to Friday. As this is a drop in service there is no need to book in advance but you do need your GP to request an x-ray or other test before you “drop in”.
Blood tests (for people aged 16 years and over)
Once your GP has given you your test forms please book an appointment
- through https://my.drdoctor.co.uk/clinic/OUH-Phleb-CDC . You will need your NHS number from your request form.
- If you don’t use the internet you can call 01865 222652
If you need to reschedule or require the blood test within the next 3 days and none are available on the website you can also call 01865 222652.
Please remember to take your blood forms!
