Maybe midday is a good time ?


The lovely lady who did my mum said that GP surgeries were laying off staff ,one practice nurse where there used to be 2 and less blood tests being carried out at surgeries .


So more pressure on clinic .

Yes I've heard this and probably explains long waits (sometimes) at DH. My Mum usually goes to King's and she is seen very quickly at the clinic. Although in some departments their blood taking isn't that good.


If you have to have blood taken on a regular basis it can make you very apprehensive every time you go, especially if you have a bad experience.

I work in Dulwich Hospital, and there's a bit of confusion with the blood dept opening times - some GPs still give their patients the old forms to take to their blood tests, which have outdated information on.


The blood test dept is open Mon-Fri, from 7.30 to 15.45.


I'd highly recommend that if you're swinging by later in the day you try and get there at least 15 minutes before it closes, as they tend to be quite prompt about shutting up shop and don't make exceptions for people who have turned up a few minutes late.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
