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blood dept opening times - some GPs still give their patients the old forms to take to their blood tests, which have outdated information on.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.

    • Nope, I'd just get on with my day and forget about it. And I wouldn't report them on the basis that they might spill my coffee in the future.  However the OP seems to think that this young woman is deliberately pushing her bell, slamming her gate etc, having repeatedly been asked not to. I'd wager the woman is a bit pee'd off and there's a bit of a stand-off going on. Best course of action is to go out, take the parcel, smile sweetly, say hello, tell her you hope she's having a nice day / staying cool etc, in a way that comes across as genuine and not pass-agg,  and to let it diffuse. Might find it calms down a bit.  But I like the girl hate the idea of her being denigrated on here when she works so hard. 
    • So of you're in a coffee shop and the barista is rude to you you wouldn't complain as long as you had received your coffee? 
    • OP, you've got to relax a bit. Multidrop delivery is a total nightmare and the delivery drivers are woefully underpaid. We as a society all want to order stuff online and for it to be delivered quickly and cheaply. The square gets circled by allowing companies like Evri to have sham contracting arrangements. None of this is your fault OP but the delivery person is just trying to get through their workload as quickly as possible. Delivery is not, historically, an industry with large profit margins. “The only way it can be profitable is if you underpay the person who is the courier, by not treating them as an employee, by not paying taxes, by not paying their insurance, by refusing to give them sick pay or cover them if they have an accident or train them,” says Prof Annabelle Gawer, the director of the Centre of Digital Economy at the University of Surrey. “That is where the ‘savings’ are coming from.” https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/mar/01/the-hidden-life-of-a-courier-13-hour-days-rude-customers-and-big-dreams
