Hi well done on taking the first step. Are you thinking of working in hospitals?

I'd suggest contacting the phlebotomy department in your local hospital - ours doesn't require new employees to have any experience as they train them up themselves.

Good luck!

thank you so much for replying.im happy to work in any environment really.quite a few hospitals near me so i will ring round and enquire.however there has to be jobs available to train surely? where are you located smileitssunnyl?

Have a look on NHS jobs website as that tends to be where most jobs are advertised now.

Hampshire, but as Bela says, try the national nhs jobs website.

Our dept take on untrained and train them up. I was already trained,though. I got my job on the NHS website.
