Review titled Pathology
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Jodie - Posted on 01 March 2023
I had a bad experience with a blood test at another hospital where they failed to take blood so I was sent to Louth instead. The phlebotomist recognised the bruise that was on my arm and reassured me that it was not an issue with my veins. She could see that I was shaking and was extremely reassuring, she made sure that I was okay throughout and also tried to distract me with conversation. She was absolutely lovely and I would not want to go anywhere else for a blood test, only hospital I trust. Had multiple blood tests here and never had a bad experience

Thank you for taking the time to express your feedback on your recent phlebotomy experience at Louth Path Lab. I am glad you found the experience comforting after a previous difficult procedure, and the staff made you feel less anxious and comforted you throughout. I will pass on your compliments to the staff involved and thank you once again. Kind regards Louise

Review titled Great staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Louise Collie - Posted on 10 February 2023
I bought my mother to the hospital for a blood test - this usually involves nurses unable to find a vein .which usually means pain and discomfort. Not this day .The nurse was gentle and found a vein no problem.She was delightful.

I am also pleased that the phlebotomist made it a comforting experience for your mother given that she usually encounters pain and discomfort. I will pass on your feedback to the staff on duty last week. Thank you. Kind regards. Louise

Review titled need clarification
Rated 3 stars out of 5

Today I attended for a eye test which concluded with a request to make an appointment with the phlebotomy dept. for a blood test for the following day, as requested by the optician. After 5 phone calls I eventually got through to the appointment dept. and was told that dept. does not make appointments. I am a loss

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback following your experience at Louth hospital and enabling us to make a change to help rectify this situation. Usually if we know a Doctor has requested blood tests my staff are aware after 4pm that these cannot be undertaken so they usually advise the patient to contact the hospital the next day and ask for the path lab. It appears this message may not have been given to the patient and we sincerely apologise for this. As a result of this feedback we will be introducing some cards which will be given to patients after 4pm advising them of the number to contact to arrange for their bloods to be taken. Doctors will be made aware they need to give these to patients after 4pm or If they cannot attend for their test on the day. Hopefully this will make it clearer for patients of who to contact. Many thanks Heather Clarke

Review titled call back
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Amanda Owen - Posted on 05 December 2022
when told to come back the next day, and the dept you visit says all is clear, but you have to go back to the urgent care for them to review results, there has got to be a better way than waiting 3.5 hours for them to review the results and basically see your GP. as it only took a couple of minutes to do that
