During the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom, the Sheffield Arena car park is being utilised as a drive-through phlebotomy service operated by the trust, the first of its kind in the country. This allows patients to attend for routine blood tests from within the isolation of their cars, reducing the requirement for patients to attend GPs or hospital clinics. The drive-through phlebotomy service opened on 8 April 2020 for patients with underlying health conditions, and was expanded to become available to all patients in the Sheffield area on 27 April.
