I took boytwin to the local pathology centre, who said they would be fine to take it. I won't go into details but I was traumatised and they didn't seem to care. He has had bloods taken before but it was at a children's hospital with elma cream applied beforehand and that was a much better experience for everyone.
Wanted to thank everyone for your responses. I ended up taking her to the private hospital clinic nearer to us than the kids hospital, mainly for logistical reasons with DH being able to watch DD2 for me cause I could take her and get back before he went to work.
They were really lovely and although she couldn't be distracted and she did cry, they were very proficient, very caring and best of all showered her with praise and stickers afterwards.
Thanks again for your input and your support.
