"Friendly, if somewhat harrassed staff"

About: Altrincham General Hospital

(as the patient),

What I liked

Friendly, if somewhat harrassed staff

What could be improved

I am also writing about the waiting time for blood tests!! I arrived at 8.30am to try and get a blood test before work, after waiting over two and a half hours I finally got seen. I think there should be some sort of tiered system in place. There were people who had to go to work so needed an early appointment, you could see the high stress of people who were supposed to be in work rather than sat in a waiting room for hours for a 5 minute procedure. There should be early appointments for those who genuinely need them. There is plenty of time during the rest of the day for the non working population.
