Excellent staff

January 24, 2018
I have difficult veins but the staff here have been excellent at taking the bloods. I've phoned to book appointments which works well. I have seen older patients struggle when checking in but for me the computer works well.

Excellent and staff are helpful

Book online, works reasonably well. The earliest is normally about a week ahead but most that I need are further ahead. The staff are very helpful and the results get to my GP

Fair but cannot book appointment for less than 2 weeks

If using the phone lines to book you can't book within 2 weeks which is an issue. So if you require a quick appointment you have to do a walk in and wait

Straightforward service with good Time constraints

Sudbury. Brilliant, easy to get in, can get appointments when needed. Tend to walk in for them which works well; normally waiting times aren't too bad. With the waiting, it would be better to have some magazines to read.

Sharp service and good parking

Quick turnaround. I tend to book by phone which works well and I can get appointments when needed. I find the service better than what was previously available. I can now use the computer; it works well. Good parking which is good (Sudbury)

Good location for services

Sudbury Convenient location for blood tests. Walk in appointments work well and don't have to wait too long. Results are given to my GP for discussion. No problems with the computer. Always someone to help if you need it.

Excellent system

Booked online, checked in and they saw me straightaway. We were in and out in 20 minutes. That meant parking was free which was a bonus (West Suffolk Hospital)
