My GP recommended that I have the following health checks; X ray to my left leg and chest; blood test and an ECG.

Yesterday morning I had made no appointments, so I booked my X rays to be done at The Dudley Guest Hospital, The walk in blood test at The Corbett was done and finally I saw the practice nurse at Withymoor Surgery.

My x rays were taken at 12:30 and by 15:00 I had completed the other 2 tests.

I think that this example is a credit to the much maligned NHS.
