Bloods 4 You: blood and urine sample collection at home in Cambridgeshire

Bloods 4 You is a private blood and urine sample collection service that travels to the patient's home, workplace or clinic. The company presents itself as a provider of private, confidential testing with fast results, and states it has carried out over 1,500 successful tests.

Process, results and confidentiality

Samples are processed and analysed in a private UKAS-accredited laboratory. Results are delivered quickly, often within 24 hours, and can be sent to the patient or to the medical professional they designate. The company stresses that results are strictly private and confidential, and that it does not offer interpretation or diagnosis of pathology results. Patients can request tests on their own initiative or with a private referral from their doctor or clinic.

Professional profile and coverage

The service manager holds professional indemnity insurance, qualified training and an advanced diploma in phlebotomy skills and techniques, as well as an enhanced portable DBS certificate. The company states it is a member of the National Association of Phlebotomists. It works in partnership with Dr Alix Daniel (GMC 4593665) for private GP services, and serves businesses and clinics.

The business operates from Peterborough, Cambridgeshire (England), with a 50-mile radius covering Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire; other areas can be covered on request. The company states that, due to Covid-19, personal protective equipment is always worn.

Background and customer reviews

The company states it has spent many years working in the health and social care sector, and notes that its experience has shown the pressure NHS services are under, which sometimes causes delays in care plans and in the delivery of results. Testimonials on the website highlight the speed of response, professionalism and the ability to build trust during the blood draw, even with patients who have small veins or a fear of needles.

Privacy and terms of service

The company states it is 100% GDPR compliant and provides information about its privacy policy. Payment for private services must be made on the day of the appointment. The website allows users to subscribe to exclusive offers, with explicit consent and the option to unsubscribe at any time; the company states it does not share or sell personal or sensitive data.
