Needham Market Country Practice


Forced to go to Ipswich for bloods

There is a brilliant phlebotomist at Needham Market Country Practice - but what does she do? Whenever I have been asked to made an appointment for a blood test, I am forced to take buses or a taxi to Ipswich - why can't we get bloods taken in Needham? How is it cost effective to have a phlebotomist in Needham not seeing patients? How is it good for the environment, with all these additional and unnecessary journeys?
