* Have you been told you have “difficult” veins?
* Do you often have to endure 2 or sometimes 3 attempts to get your blood?
* Do you some times find a large bruise on your arm after having blood taken?
* Perhaps in the past you have had a blood taking that was very painful?
* Maybe you have had an unfortunate experience and now panic at the idea of having blood taken but you still need to get some tests done?
You aren’t alone.
We are surprised how many people avoid seeing a doctor just because they wish to avoid this unpleasant experience.
Studies have shown that up to 20% of people have undue anxiety enough to make them avoid getting tests done even when they are recommended.
Research has shown that even in the best centres up to 15% of people that have blood taken get bruising and that 3% had more than a single attempt to get the blood.

We have carefully considered every aspect of what we do and sought out the best way to ensure the best possible experience for you our patients.
