Could you not ask for a phlebotomy appt for first thing in the morning?

I've been at two different surgeries since I first went on APs & both required the yearly check up. I guess it might vary depending on region what standard practices are.

And yes! I was planning on making a morning appointment. I'm usually up at 7am though so I'll still have to wait a wee while.
