MISSED BLOOD TEST APPOINTMENTS
We would like to remind patients of the importance of attending scheduled blood test appointments.
Demand for these is currently very high so if you are unable to attend your appointment PLEASE inform us as soon as possible so we can offer the slot to someone else.
In the last 4 weeks there have been 39 lost appointments due to patients failing to attend or cancelling their appointment; this is the equivalent of 6.5 hours of lost clinical time.
PLEASE help us to help you by letting us know if you are unable to attend a your appointment.
Thank you.
