How it Works
Getting your blood taken at home is simple, safe and designed to fit around your day. Your phlebotomist brings everything needed, talks you through each step, and makes sure you feel completely comfortable before we begin. Here’s what to expect:
1. Book your appointment
Choose a date and time that works for you, share any test forms you’ve been given, and we’ll match you with a qualified phlebotomist in your area.
2. Your phlebotomist visits your home
They arrive with all equipment prepared, confirm your details, and explain the process in a calm, reassuring way. You’re welcome to ask questions at any point.
3. A quick, comfortable blood draw
The procedure takes just a few minutes, and once it’s done, we provide simple aftercare advice before safely packaging the sample ready for transport back to the lab.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral or doctor’s order to book a home blood test?
In most cases, yes. If your GP or clinic has ordered blood tests, simply provide the requisition form when booking. If you’re ordering a private test (e.g. a wellness panel), we’ll guide you through the available options and requirements on booking. If you don’t have a referral, we can point you in the right direction.
What should I do to prepare for my blood draw?
It depends on the type of test: some require fasting (no food or drink except water for 8–12 hours before the appointment), while others don’t. Some women’s hormonal tests need to be done at certain times in your cycle. Your clinic will tell you ahead of time if any special requirements are needed. In all cases, wear short-sleeved or roll-up sleeves, stay hydrated (especially if fasting), and have any lab forms ready for the phlebotomist.
What happens when the phlebotomist arrives?
Our phlebotomists carry digital ID cards showing their photo, full name (matching your booking), job title and contact number. You are welcome to check their ID when they arrive. Bit random {All equipment (needles, blood tubes, gauze) is single-use, and infection-control procedures follow strict hygiene standards.}
They may ask for somewhere to wash their hands, or use hand santiser, and will look for a suitable location to set their kit up, often a dining table or sofa.
Is the procedure safe and hygienic?
Yes, we follow rigorous safety and infection control protocols. Phlebotomists wash or sanitise hands before each draw, use new sterile needles and tubes for every patient, and handle waste securely.
Phlebotomists do not wear masks as standard, but they carry masks with them and are happy to wear one if you prefer. Likewise, clean hands are safer for the patient than gloves alone.
However, if you’d like the phlebotomist to wear a mask or gloves, just let them know. Your comfort and safety are our priority, and you can check out our Infection Control Policy here.
