Diet & Exercise
Exercise is an extremely important component of most healthcare interventions and is as important in illness as it is in health. Most people, when asked about exercise, will report walking three to four days a week, typical for 30 to 90 minutes.
Repeat Perscriptions
If you require a repeat prescription for a medication it is generally better to ask your GP who is looking after your day to day healthcare.
Blood Testing
Blood testing is available at Bon Secours in the phlebotomy department from Monday to Friday, 09:00-16:45 (closed during lunch). The fee for this is payable directly to the hospital
