Apologies for my last reply which I thought had been addressed as an individual send, but instead went to the public list )-: Laurie -----Original Message----- From: GP-UK [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Michael Leuty Sent: 30 January 2009 18:33 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: High risk bloods Does anybody add a Read code to their patients' clinical record to indicate that blood samples from that patient would be considered high risk, e.g. the patient has HIV, Hep B or C? If so, which Read code do you use? If not, what protocol do you use to ensure that both phlebotomist and laboratory are aware of the high risk status? Mike -- Michael Leuty Nottingham, UK
