One of the phlebotomists is on holiday and there is just one guy with a student and he looks exhausted. There were about 60 people there and as one person went in I asked how long she had waited and she said 2 hours but so many more people had come since. So approx 2.5 hours. And this is at a normally quiet time, ie. NOT first thing in the morning. I have registered a complaint with the Patient and Liaison Office and they said this had been going on all week. The poor guy looked tired and it is not fair on him!


Anyway, so just letting you know if you have to go this week. Don't!

I went with my Mum and Dad to Dulwich Hospital for their blood tests recently. Agree with PeckhamRose that it's not acceptable to be kept waiting in a small, dinghy corridor for nearly 3 hours.


Maxxi's info was useful but outside of those hours then Dulwich Hospital is the only choice for routine blood tests.

Thanks Pugwash. At least they have a coffee shop nearby. In Dulwich it's a dingy corridor when the big room is full. Did you complain to PALS (based in the section of the hospital next to the Golden Jubilee Wing) about it? If everyone complained they would have to do something. (One would hope!)

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
