About Bloods & beyond
At Bloods & Beyond, we specialise in mobile phlebotomy, training, and recruitment – making high-quality blood collection more accessible than ever.
We are a dedicated team with one clear goal: to bring skilled phlebotomy directly to the people who need it – whether at home, at work, or in the community.
From busy professionals to vulnerable patients, we recognise that not everyone can (or should) travel to a clinic. That’s why we’ve built the UK’s largest, furthest reaching independent mobile phlebotomy network – ensuring fast, safe, and flexible appointments wherever you are.
Our growing team of trusted professionals now supports leading labs, research organisations, and healthcare providers across the UK and Ireland – all while maintaining a warm, friendly, patient-centred approach that puts comfort and care first.
Accreditations
We are Proud to be Recognised for our Quality & Hard Work
Who are the CQC?
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of health and adult social care in England. Their role is to make sure that healthcare providers deliver safe, effective, compassionate and high-quality care, and that they are held properly accountable for the services they provide.
Bloods & Beyond are proud to be registered with the CQC.
This registration shows our commitment to high standards, compliance, and patient safety. It also means that we meet strict legal and professional requirements that protect both clients and staff.
Quality Assurance
The CQC sets some of the strictest quality assurance protocols in the UK. Registration acts as a seal of approval that our processes meet these standards. This covers:
- A rigorous recruitment process for phlebotomists
- Regular supervision and quality audits
- A transparent duty of candour, complaints and feedback policy, and lessons learned process
- Robust safeguarding protocols
- Standardised best practice and infection control procedures
- A comprehensive suite of policies aligned to national guidance
Even in parts of the UK and the world where CQC registration does not directly apply, these quality standards underpin our service across our whole network.
Legal Compliance
In June, the National Association of Phlebotomists (NAP) issued updated guidance clarifying the position of CQC registration for phlebotomists operating in private practice in England.
The guidance states:
“If you perform diagnostic or screening procedures independently, you are now legally required to be registered with the CQC under the regulated activity of Diagnostic and Screening Procedures.”
This requirement applies even if:
- Clients handle the dispatch of their own samples
- You operate as a mobile phlebotomist visiting clients at home or workplaces
- You are not responsible for analysing the samples
- You perform finger-prick blood draws
- You are NHS-registered and only occasionally perform private blood draws
Put simply, if the person taking your blood isn’t registered with the CQC, then they are breaking the law.
VAT Relief for Clients
By being CQC-registered, Bloods & Beyond is recognised as a healthcare provider in our own right. This means we are providing a regulated healthcare service which is VAT-exempt. Clients are not charged VAT on our invoices – keeping services more affordable without compromising quality.
