My GP practice has recently amalgamated with several others in the area to create one huge super-surgery. All three practices are still at original sites with satellite surgeries all over the city.
I managed to make an appointment this morning with a Nurse Practioner for a consultation during which she said I needed blood tests and to make an appointment for these at reception. The only appointment in the next few days is later today at another site so I have taken it.
Would it really have been unreasonable for me to expect the NP to do the blood tests there and then? Is this the norm these days? Incidentally there wasn't anyone waiting after me - was totally deserted.
I am unable to drive today but have arranged a lift, if I hadn't had someone to take me these two separate appointments would have required 8 separate buses costing £13.40 and nearly 2 1/2 hours travelling!

To expect the nurse to do blood tests during my appointment?
