Damson Health helped develop a practice-based Phlebotomy service for Bromley PCT.

Alan supported GP Commissioners and the PCT to understand why the phlebotomy LES only had a limited take-up among local GPs and how the service needed to be re-modelled and re-costed to ensure greater uptake.

We also reviewed the community transport services to identify how these had to be developed to provide a more appropriate service to expand the practice-based Phlebotomy services

Finally we worked with the acute trust to explore how an order communications system linking the GP computer systems to the hospital pathology service would improve accuracy and also provide better quality assurance.
