"Early Afternoon blood tests"

About: Penrose Surgery

I was delighted hear from a Doctor during a appointment ,afternoon blood tests are available

This is valuable to me, following my brain injury, I have many post brain injury symptoms ,one is a sleeping disorder and also complex ,neuropathic /thalamic pain syndrome ,both make sleeping difficult , and struggle to attend morning appointments

My previous GP surgeries referred me to Hospital for my blood tests, due to not being unable to accommodate my need for afternoon blood test appointments

The lunch time collection of blood samples made this impossible

Since joining Penrose Street surgery ,I've attended afternoon blood test appointments in December 2020 ,a afternoon appointment was made for January 2021 ,but for an unexplained reason and witout notification this appointment was suddenly cancelled and I found myself attending hospital for this blood test in February and March 2021 ?

However ,I have since attended further afternoon blood test appointment in April ,and May 2021 at Penrose Street Surgery
