How it works

Clinic appointment

Having your blood collected by an experienced phlebotomist at one of our partner clinics is a simple process.

Please note you will not receive a test kit in the post as the phlebotomist will bring one to your home.

You can check this information by selecting your test on our website and reading the “When should the test be taken?” section.
