  1. Review titled Online / Phone line blood test booking

    Rated 4 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 15 October 2024

    My experience today was that - The online system seems to be inconsitent. Currently not showing any available appointments. It has worked well previously. The automated phone line isn't fit for purpose. Too confusing and long winded to be of use. Need to be able to speak to someone real time.

  2. Review titled Fab customer service

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 03 September 2024

    Just wanted to say a little thanks to B r e n d a who was amazing, her persona was so inviting and kind and her smile just makes your day. After fiddling around with the online website trying to get myself an appointment aswell as the built up anxiety of having a blood test after such a long time, B sorted it all out for me, reassured me and I was able to get a blood test right there and then. Definitely deserves a raise Xx

  3. Review titled Great physically and mentally

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Robert Jackson - Posted on 24 April 2024

    Physios at the Lower Limb Rehabilitation Sessions we’re both empathetic and professional in their tutelage. Sessions were light hearted but certainly exceptionally beneficial and their overseeing of the exercises to ensure correct execution was brilliant. Disappointed that I was only allocated 6 sessions as felt I needed more as my recovery is forecast to be a long one due to a pressure ulcer on my injured and pinned foot severely restricted recovery from surgery and accompanying soft tissue damage.

  4. Review titled Fab nurse!

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Maxine Hendrickson - Posted on 09 April 2024

    I came for a blood test and my 3 year old daughter came along. The nurse who saw us was excellent! I feel bad I can’t remember her name. She asked my daughter to be a nurse with her, they gave her teddy bear a blood test first before it was my turn. Honestly the loveliest nurse I have ever met! Thank you so much for being so compassionate and using the opportunity to teach my child about blood tests, not just in a rush to get us out the door!

  5. Review titled Sound issues

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 02 May 2023

    I went for my blood test and although my hearing is quite good I found it difficult to hear the receptionist through the plastic screen especially as there was general noise and several receptionists having conversations with patients at the same time all with different strength of voices. A speaker and microphone system like banks/building societies have would overcome the issue.
