A blood testing service in Harrogate is set to move to Knaresborough after the closure of a supermarket pharmacy.
The relocation comes as Lloyds Pharmacy in Sainsbury's on Wetherby Road is set to close.
The service, which is run by Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust, is operated from the supermarket pharmacy to provide flexibility for patients who require a blood test.
This is in addition to appointments at Harrogate District Hospital.
The service will relocate to Chain Lane Community Hub in Knaresborough on Tuesday, May 2, and will be open Monday to Friday from 7.30am until 11am.
Emma Jocelyn, phlebotomy manager at HDFT said:
Ms Jocelyn added:
Lloyds Pharmacy announced in January it was to close 237 of its outlets in Sainsbury’s supermarkets nationally.
The group said it made the decision due to “changing market conditions”.
