This venous blood test (blood drawn from vein in arm) is carried out in your own home (anywhere in the UK) by a qualified nurse at a time to suit you. You then use the freepost envelope to send your sample back to the laboratory for detailed analysis and your report along with any recommendations is emailed to you by our team in 5-7 days. Please note: If you are looking for an insight into fertility we would advise taking the test between days 3-5 of your cycle. For accurate B12 levels we suggest you stop taking supplements containing B12 for 7 days prior to your blood test unless you have been prescribed these for a health condition. If you are taking a T3 containing medication take your test in the hour prior to your dose of medication. If you require the most accurate triglyceride or LDL cholesterol levels, then we do recommend fasting for 8 hours prior to the test.

The Well Man test covers all the key health markers as above - the only difference is this profile test’s for testosterone, a male hormone essential for libido, fertility and building muscle mass.

Once ordered you will receive your test tube kit via Royal Mail in 2-3 days. Our nurse service will use the telephone number you provide to contact you to arrange a mutually convenient time to come to your home to take your sample - we recommend arranging a morning sample Mon-Thurs. A free post envelope is included with your kit so when the nurse has taken your sample, simply pop straight in a post box. We recommend you arrange your blood tests Mon-Thurs to avoid samples being delayed in the post over weekends.

Please note that if you cancel your nurse visit within 48 hours of your appointment there is a £60 fee to rebook a new slot.
