The University of Bradford has received a £20,000 donation from Bradford-based cash plan provider, Sovereign Health Care, to establish an urgently needed phlebotomy suite to support the people of Bradford.
There is an urgent requirement for trained phlebotomists in the NHS blood testing services where the waiting time for phlebotomy training currently exceeds 6 months.
‘Phlebotomy’ involves taking blood samples for diagnostic testing in a laboratory and is essential for diagnosing illness.
The donation from Sovereign Health Care will be used to set up a four-bed phlebotomy suite at the university, which will deliver training to students and members of the public, providing them with hands-on vocational skills, which can be put into direct use in the community.
