Good morning Sue,
That sounds interestinting, I have not come across an OH dept who consent
and take bloods from the source patient. It is something that has crossed my
mind in the past but I always thought that the clinical teams looking after
the patient have responsibility and may object to OH interference.
Does your system work smoothly, if the answer is yes then It is something to
be considered ourselves in the future.
Thanks
Saghir.
