Main duties of the job

As a Phlebotomist, you will have the important responsibility of interacting with patients, explaining procedures, and providing reassurance when needed.

Timely delivery of these samples to the laboratory is essential, and you will be expected to meet strict deadlines to ensure efficient processing.

In addition to the technical aspects of the role, you will also be involved in collating information regarding patient statistics, conducting audits, and participating in patient surveys. This data collection is vital for maintaining high standards of care and continuous improvement in our services.
