Blood draws for lab tests
A nurse takes the blood sample at your home and sends it to the partner laboratory. You get the results without leaving the house.
What it is
A blood draw takes a small amount of blood from a vein so it can be analysed in a laboratory.
Our nurse takes the sample with sterile single-use equipment, labels it and sends it for analysis.
Who it is for
- Patients whose doctor has ordered blood tests
- Older people or anyone with limited mobility
- Patients with a long-term condition who have regular tests
