NURSE SARAH PEAT
Lead Phlebotomist and HCA Sarah has been working at Seaside Medical Centre for twelve years. Sarah is the lead Phlebotomist which means the bulk of her time is spent taking blood tests. Some of these are regular blood tests for patients who take certain types of medications which require monitoring. Sarah manages the list of these patients to make sure they come regularly for their blood tests Other tests are for patients who need routine investigations because their doctor is trying to diagnose a new problem or they have a long-term illness, or maybe the hospital has asked them to have some tests done as follow-up after an operation or a recent admission. Sarah also enjoys looking after people who take Warfarin, a medication to prevent blood clots. This medication needs careful monitoring in case the blood levels change and the dose needs to be adjusted. Also Sarah does the NHS Health Checks for patients aged 40-74 years of age. This is done every five years to calculate their risk of heart attack, stroke and diabetes and to advise how to lower the risk if tis is raising so this can be prevented. Sarah also does injections to protect against disease for example flu and pneumonia.
