Have you asked your go surgery.Mine said they would take bloods free of charge for me,
Local private hospital charged me £15 a couple of years ago. Janet.
My local NHS hospital did mine without a charge.
thanks guys both surgeries in town would nto do it for me.
Hi My GP will do mine. Otherwise, ask BH to change it for a DIY kit, slightly dearer, main site. It is a finger prick test but uses a little phial of blood , so fine.Do not use a private hospital to take the blood,cost.

i think my gp is just being b----- minded .he refuse sto refer me to a derm as A&E suggested I should see one.i just asked the surgery a question about my medical notes and they said i would have to speak to my dr ?why?.i am entitled to get copies if I want to.
think he s frightened for whatever reason cos he knows hes in the wrong.??not sure I could do a finger prick test?would need someone else to do it.
Hi finger prick really easy. have a glass of water half an hour before, run fingers under hot water, simple!Bloods you should always be able to get the results but for notes, , ask the practice manager, they make you wait and charge.
I had a terrible GP fortunately left now.Nothing to the problem with "heart failure docs", the Maffia, ignorant and just want to kill me!
