Any phlebotomists here?

Just wondering if you are a phlebotomist working in a GP surgery, how long is your appointment time for a standard blood test?

I'm not a phlebotomist but I work in a doctors surgery our standard blood test apps are 10 mins.

I'm a practice nurse. Ours are ten minutes but we do get extra urgent ones squeezed in by the GP, and if patients are known to be very tricky we try and book them a double appt.

I help run a phlebotomy clinic and standard time is 15 mins but this is because often the patients are people GP'S have sent to us as they are tricky to draw blood from. Sometimes it takes 2 minutes sometimes it takes 15 but everyone gets allocated 15 mins regardless. We squeeze people in last minute in-between these slots if we have time.
