Walk-in centres - do they do blood tests?

[tim73]

As it takes forever to get an appointment with the GP and probably have to get a further appointment with a nurse for tests, I wondered if you can just go to a walk-in centre and get some there and then?

Just concerned about my constant heavy lethargy and dizziness. As I'm having stomach issues which could indicate a possible ulcer, I'm worried of course about things like bleeding ulcer leading to anemia (though no blood in stool and I'm not throwing up). Either that or diabetes.

Really just want to rule things out. The doctor hasn't bothered with tests. Initially everything was anxiety, and now they're just treating the immediate symptoms.

If I ring the GP, earliest I'd see them would be tomorrow if I'm really lucky and then not until next week for a blood test probably if I can convince them, etc.
