   I visited here yesterday for breast screening and I was astounded by how efficient the whole process was. Everyone was so kind and friendly despite how much pressure they must be under. The building itself was impeccable, signs clearly marking where you need to go. We were in and out within an hour or so and they did a VERY thorough job. I felt respected and understood, and didn't feel rushed. Thank you all.

   Waited over a month for the dept to contact me with an appointment. I had to chase them. Booking line on nhs app states lines open at 8am. Its actually 9am. Woman on the booking line patronising & obnoxious. Referral waiting times absolutely ridiculous. 1 year & thats for urgent cases . Delays are excessive. NHS is failing massively.

   Went for a blood test twice here. You are allowed up to 30 minutes free parking, which due to the very efficient staff and nurses is enough time to get a blood test done. Staff and nurses are very helpful and are always pleasant.

   Had to go to suite 5 today breast screening. Service was second to none. Staff couldn't of explained enough to me with all details. All friendly and helpful.

   I think the outsourcing of outpatient care for routine stuff from your local GP to places like this has been a hit overall. The motive is more likely to be the GPs being unable to cope rather than the NHS identifying an area of productivity enhancement. Nevertheless if you need blood test results to check if you have some life threatening condition getting it all done within a few days is far preferable to the few weeks it takes at the doctor's. Linaker literally have a blood analysis laboratory on site! Your blood is tested almost immediately. It can get super- busy though. The staff are generally polite and efficient and now the crazy COVID policies have been relaxed the whole experience whilst not often "Enjoyable" (Unless you have Munchausen of course), is not often objectionable either.

   Just been in hospital - very few patients wearing masks. Masks not being given out at reception but government guidelines are "a surgical face mask must be worn in all parts of the hospital, at all times, unless you are in a single room on your own or you are eating or drinking, showering or sleeping." Hospital not meeting government rules.

   Tragic! Went for a blood test. The phlebotomist didn’t wash hands after another patient and didn’t wear gloves, does health&safety not apply here???? Also I’ve never experienced more painful blood test, she couldn’t find a good vein and inserted the same needle twice after she was touching it with her hands. My arm is in pain after 3 days.
