Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry to hear that you are disappointed with us. As a learning organisation we are keen to understand things that have not gone so well.

Our appointments for blood tests are sometimes limited which means we need to offer alternative arrangements. Unfortunately this might mean that patients might have to travel. We don't send patients to another Practice; but instead we offer our services on an evening and a weekend but in a different building (currently at Trinity Medical Centre). We work as a Primary Care Network with other Practices to share services and make them more accessible for patients. You would still be having your bloods taken as a Maybush patient, we are just using their building when ours is closed.

There is now also the option to have your bloods taken at a new service offered in the community by Pinderfields Hospital. This is on Cathedral Park near Jysk and Next. No appointment is necessary, you just need to take your blood form with you available from our Reception. You can also pre-book your regular 2 week appointments with us in advance to secure the appointment.

We hope that has been helpful, and again thank you for sharing with us your experience.
