We went to them, very quick, efficient and friendly (did have the breast exam and hubby the cough and drop though!)
When my Hubbys BP was slightly high they retook it several times until it was in normal limits. Also very good at advising what would be acceptable in terms of extra information about a couple of things.
Highly recomended!

It took just over an hour for three of us. They have quite an efficient conveyer belt system. In for x-ray, weighed and eye test first, then nurse for bloods and urine, then doc for check over. It cost £312 for 2 adults and 1 child (including hep B for me) that covered the postage too, I think they charged £12 for that but not 100% sure. Not a bad experience at all though, pleasant waiting area with play area for children too.
Good luck,
Michaela

Anyone know if they want a Hep B test for a pierced belly button? Or is it just tattoos?

Yep, we went there too - seems like ages ago now. They were very good. We made a day of it - took a picnic and went to a nearby park and played footie :)

I didn't get a boob grope though:) Think the Hep C is just for tattoos Bundy.

Hope so. I spent an hour last night trying to remove my belly button ring, hampered by the fact that I cannot bear me or anyone else touching my belly button (why I got it pierced is anyone's guess - much less how I managed to get it pierced).
