How it works

Four steps, and one of them is ours

You tell us where and when. Everything after that is on us.

  1. Step 1

    Tell us where and when

    Fill in the form below, or call or message us. We need the address, a phone number, and either the test names or what your doctor has written.

  2. Step 2

    We call you back to confirm

    We agree the time and check the preparation — whether you need to fast, and for how long. Nothing is fixed until that call, so wait for it before you stop eating.

  3. Step 3

    A phlebotomist comes to you

    Trained staff, carrying identification, with sealed single-use equipment. The sample is labelled in front of you and goes straight to the laboratory.

  4. Step 4

    The report reaches you

    Sent by SMS and email as soon as a pathologist has verified it, on the same turnaround as a sample given at the centre.

What we can and cannot collect at home

Worth being straight about, so nobody waits in for a visit that was never going to work.

We come to you

Blood, urine and stool tests — 112 tests in all. That covers the routine work: blood counts, sugar and HbA1c, cholesterol, liver and kidney panels, thyroid, vitamins, and most hormone and infection testing.

Browse tests we collect at home

You come to us

Anything needing equipment or a clinician: X-ray, ultrasound, CT and MRI, mammography, ECG, echo and ETT, EEG and nerve studies, spirometry, and the procedures such as biopsies and FNAC. Swab tests are also taken at the centre, because how the swab is taken decides whether the result means anything.

Book

Request a home visit

We will call you back to confirm the time and the preparation.

Optional — for the report.

House and street, area, and a landmark if there is one nearby.

Test names, or just tell us what the doctor has written — we will work it out and confirm.

Optional. Difficult veins, a housebound patient, a preferred entrance.

This is a request, not a confirmed appointment. We will call you to agree the time before anyone sets out.

Common questions

Is there a charge for the home visit?

No. The visit itself is free — you pay for the tests, at the same rate as at any of our centres. There is no call-out fee and no handling charge.

Which tests can be collected at home?

Anything that needs a blood, urine or stool sample — which is most of the catalogue, currently 112 of our 166 tests. Scans, X-rays, ECG and the other studies that need equipment have to be done at a centre. Every test page says which it is, and you can filter the catalogue to home-collectable tests only.

How far ahead do I need to book?

Book by 6:00pm for a visit the next morning. If you need someone sooner than that, call 0312 38 99 99 and we will tell you honestly what is possible.

Do I need to fast?

It depends on the test — some need 8 to 12 hours, most need nothing at all. Every test page states its own requirement, and we confirm it on the call before the visit. Please do not start fasting until we have confirmed the time with you.

Who actually comes to the house?

A trained phlebotomist from our own staff, carrying photographic identification. If you would prefer a female phlebotomist, say so when you book and we will arrange it.

Can I book for someone else?

Yes. Give us the patient's name and the address, and a phone number we can reach on the day — it does not have to be the patient's own. This is the usual arrangement for elderly parents and for anyone housebound.

Rather just talk to someone?

Send us the prescription and we will do the rest.
