About home blood tests
Can I get a blood test at home?
Yes, all of our blood tests are home kits. The test kits include everything you need to take your blood sample, package it, and send it to the lab for analysis.
The kits also include full instructions and tips to make the process as easy as possible.
Do I need to be in when my kit is delivered?
No, your test kit should fit through your letterbox. You don’t need to sign for it.
Are home blood test kits accurate?
We’ve partnered with Thriva to make accuracy and reliability our priority.
- The lab — The laboratory used is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and is fully compliant with ISO laboratory standards
- The kits — All test kits are CE-marked, so they meet health and safety requirements within the European Economic Area (EEA)
