Arriving and waiting for a blood test
Arriving and waiting for a blood test
On the day of your blood test appointment:
When you get to the place where the blood test appointment is, let the staff know you have arrived.
Staff are the people who work there.
The staff will tell you what to do next and where you need to wait for your appointment.
It is OK to ask them questions to make sure you understand.
Once the staff know you have arrived you may need to wait to be seen.
Let the staff know if you find it difficult waiting.
When it is time for you to have your blood test a member of staff may say your name to let you know it is your turn.
Let the staff know when you arrive for your appointment if you might have difficulty knowing when it is your turn.
A staff member may ask you to follow them to the appointment room, or you may be told which room to go to.
