Mobile phlebotomy service launched
Tuesday 26th May 2009
A new mobile phlebotomy service has been launched in the Cotswolds, according to reports in the Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard.
Run by qualified phlebotomist Christina Horan, who has worked for the NHS for a number of years, the service is based in Cheltenham and it regularly visits Cirencester and other parts of the area.
Commenting on her motivation for establishing the service, she said: "Working in over-stretched hospitals and surgeries I have experienced first-hand the strain that this rise has put on district nurses and hospital staff.
"The appointment books are always full."
Ms Horan went on to say that she realised that patients could benefit from a different kind of service which would enable them to choose when and where to have their blood taken.
According to the medical professional, the testing service enables patients to choose whether to be tested at home or at their place of work.
