[QUOTE="Lally123, post: 1787551, member: 379571"] You're right. In my area anyway GPs aren't allowed to order certain blood tests, these can only be ordered by, usually, consultants and covers most of the expensive and specialist blood tests. Even for inpatients the same applies. I remember having to do insulin tests on certain patients, the insulin tests and bottles had to be ordered up in advance of the test being needed and the request forms had to be signed by the consultant rather than the junior drs. Can't remember the precise condition it was for but I do remember the patient having to fast for 72 hours and have their blood glucose checked really often. Not really surprised GPs aren't able to order it! [/QUOTE]
