Share review of Billingshurst Surgery

Hello, Thank you for your feedback. I have had a check on why bloods and ECGs would not be done in the same appointment as like you I felt that it would be more efficient. I found that we would normally take bloods at the same time as an ECG, the only times this doesn't happen is to do with when the last blood samples are scheduled to be collected each day by the lab at St Richards. If your appointment is after that time we would be unable to take the blood sample from you as it would expire by the time of the collection the next day. This can sometimes lead to two appointments instead of one. Sorry for the inconvenience caused by this, I hope this has explained the reasoning behind having two appointments instead of one on this occasion. Many Thanks, Billingshurst Surgery
