Goodbody Wellness provides private blood tests and health diagnostics through a nationwide network of clinics. But some patients need greater flexibility: they may have mobility challenges, live too far from a suitable clinic or simply need an appointment that fits around work and family life.
By integrating Bloods & Beyond’s nationwide mobile phlebotomy service, Goodbody can offer those patients professional blood collection at home while maintaining the convenience and clinical standards expected from its wider service.
The challenge: extending access beyond fixed clinics
Goodbody already gives patients access to a broad range of private health tests through more than 200 clinic locations. Even with that physical network, clinic-based testing cannot meet every patient’s needs.
- Travel can be difficult for people with reduced mobility or other access needs.
- Patients in areas without a convenient clinic still need professional venous blood collection.
- Busy schedules can make a fixed clinic appointment harder to attend.
- Goodbody needed a reliable and scalable mobile phlebotomy partner that could support patients across the UK.
The solution: a nationwide mobile phlebotomy partner
Bloods & Beyond’s outsourced phlebotomy service extends Goodbody’s existing clinic network by bringing professional blood collection directly to patients. The partnership combines Goodbody’s health-testing services with Bloods & Beyond’s mobile workforce and operational support. This creates another route into Goodbody’s diagnostic pathway without requiring Goodbody to build and manage its own nationwide field team.
How the partnership supports patients and Goodbody
- Extended reach: Patients can access at-home blood collection across the UK, including in areas where attending a Goodbody clinic may not be practical.
- Professional patient care: Trained mobile phlebotomists focus on punctuality, reassurance and a comfortable experience in the patient’s own surroundings.
- Clinical handling: Samples are collected and handled in line with the requirements of the relevant test and service pathway.
- Service flexibility: Goodbody can give eligible patients a choice between visiting a clinic and arranging a home collection.
- Scalable delivery: Bloods & Beyond provides the mobile collection capability and operational coordination needed to support a nationwide service.
This approach helps diagnostic providers solve the practical “last-mile” challenge between a patient ordering a test and the laboratory receiving a suitable sample. Read more about phlebotomy logistics for laboratories and clinics.
The results: extensive coverage and growing demand
Since the partnership began, Bloods & Beyond has delivered mobile phlebotomy services across more than 370 different UK postcode locations, demonstrating the breadth and reach of the service.
Demand has grown substantially too, with bookings increasing more than fourfold over the last 12 months.
The partnership has enabled Goodbody to:
- Extend professional blood collection well beyond its fixed clinic network.
- Support patients facing geographical, mobility or scheduling barriers.
- Respond to growing demand without building and managing its own nationwide field workforce.
- Give more patients the choice of receiving professional blood collection at home.
Together, the geographic coverage and sustained growth demonstrate how an established mobile phlebotomy partner can help a diagnostic provider expand access at scale.
What Goodbody says
“We chose Bloods & Beyond because their mobile phlebotomy service is genuinely outstanding. Their nationwide team of highly trained phlebotomists arrive on time, put patients at ease, and treat every sample with real care and strict clinical standards.
“That professionalism and reliability mirror our own commitment to accessible, high-quality testing, which is why we trust them to bring the clinic experience to our patients’ doors. For our patients, it means a home visit that feels every bit as safe, comfortable and professional as walking into one of our clinics.”

What this partnership demonstrates for other healthcare providers
A nationwide diagnostic service needs more than an online test catalogue and laboratory capacity. Patients also need a safe, convenient way to provide a high-quality sample.
For clinics, laboratories and health-testing providers, working with an established mobile phlebotomy partner can extend geographical reach, add home-visit capability and reduce the operational burden of recruiting and coordinating a dispersed phlebotomy workforce.
