Book a blood test

This is a new option available for patients at our Community Diagnostic Centres (CDCs) at Armley, Beeston and Seacroft, which you may find more convenient.

If you have been asked to have a blood test by a healthcare professional then you can now book your test online for these locations.

Please only book a blood test if you have been asked to do so by a healthcare professional.

The booking system is called Swiftqueue. Please click below to access the system.

If you already have an NHS login, you will be prompted to enter your password and click continue. If you have forgotten your password, click on the reset password option below. Once you enter your password, you may be sent a security code to your mobile number. Enter in the 6 digit code and click continue to proceed. If you have not used Swiftqueue before, you will be brought to a consent screen and asked to confirm that you want to share the below information. Click on ‘I agree’ button to continue.
If your email address is not found, then you will be prompted to create a NHS login using the email address you entered.
As part of the verification process, you will need a mobile number so that the NHS can send a security code to you to verify your details.
Click the continue button in order to proceed. You will need to add some basic details including: Postcode, Date of Birth and Name or NHS number. Please note: If you have any difficulties during this part, please contact the NHS support team who can help you with this. https://help.qa.signin.nhs.uk/
Once your account is registered, you should automatically be redirected to the Swiftqueue patient portal to book.

To book an appointment, click the “Book a blood test online for a Community Diagnostic Centre” button above.
Select the test type e.g. Adult blood or Child blood test.
Select the date and time you wish to attend for your test and then click the Next button. The time screen will offer you the next available time. You can click the right arrow to move to a later date/month if needed.
Log into Swiftqueue as an Existing User or with your NHS Login using your registered email address and password.
On the confirmation page select the Patient Name (If age restricted shows, this means the clinic does not accept patients for that age group).
Tick BOTH boxes to agree to the terms and conditions and hit submit.
There is an option to add comments so that the staff are aware if needed.
Special Assistance option – alerts staff that you may need assistance. (This does NOT request a wheelchair etc. This must be requested directly with the hospital.)
You will receive a confirmation email for your appointment once booked and see this in your Upcoming Appointments section in your patient portal. Please check your Junk / Spam folder if you don’t receive this in case it has been redirected there instead of your main email folder.
