1. Obtaining intravenous (IV) access involves inserting a needle or cannula into a vein. Complications may include:
   Occasionally: Discomfort, bleeding, bruising at injection site.
   Rarely: Inflammation in the vein used, infection, phlebitis.
2. If acutely unwell: I affirm I will engage with my usual healthcare provider such as my GP/ consultant or local Emergency Department.
3. I understand that I will be contacted by e-mail with a summary of the results from my blood tests which will have been reviewed by a GP and this will be followed up with a phone call from a Doctor to discuss the results further.
4. I understand that it is my responsibility to follow up on these results by arranging a full consultation with a GP if this is suggested in the written report. Effect Doctors ™M is able to connect you with a private GP if you do not have one.
