How the blood draw works

The appointment takes around 15 minutes: checking your details, a short chat about preparation, drawing blood from a forearm vein and labelling the sample. The sample is sent to an accredited laboratory the same day.

• Slots every 20 minutes — no queuing and no waiting on site
• Single-use, sterile equipment and procedures compliant with UK standards
• Blood draws for adults and, once the scope is agreed, for children
• You can have several panels drawn during a single visit

Who private blood draws are for

For people who already have a referral or their own list of tests, work irregular hours, don't want to queue, or need follow-up tests after treatment.
