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!)

    • Apparently there was a motorcade on Lordship lane about 40 mins ago. Did anyone see it? Two blacked out 4X4, with police convoy. I'm intrigued...
    • Harrow.  I wish that I had done more before Covid, including putting my name forward as an executor and seeking power of attorney.  I performed the latter for my later mother, and with no executor named in her will I did probate and executed her will, all very straightforward as financial affairs all in order particularly due to the work of my sister who managed our mother's accounts. But from 2020 onward it was difficult to tell someone who was very frail she needed to change her will etc. There's a further tail about the 'friend' of my aunt who gets around 90% of the estate, and some manipulation of my aunt's finances by this friend.  Police wont get out of bed for a million or so for fraud cases so didn't go to them.
    • Is he local to South London? My father made his solicitor the executive. I, for many years had Lasting Power of Attorney to deal with all his finances including liaison with his bank and payment of his care home fees. I was also responsible for the sale of his home to release funds for care home fees. When he died, I notified the solicitor, obtained the death certificate and organized the funeral, cleared his care home of his possessions . Myself and my cousin were beneficiaries but my father had left a small sum of money to a man in the Midlands whose name was unknown to all of us including my step mother. It  took around 9 months for solicitor to establish that this gentleman had been deceased for a number of years . This obviously put additional charges onto the fees.
