Which UK blood test companies send a phlebotomist to your home?

TrueVitals (£39, anywhere in the UK, Ultimate and Advanced panels), Lola Health (£35, subject to phlebotomist availability in your area) and Medichecks (around £59 nurse visit). Forth offers venous draws at selected locations. Randox, Bupa, Nuffield, Bluecrest, London Medical Laboratory and One Day Tests are clinic-based for venous samples. Thriva, Numan and most 'at-home' kits are posted finger-prick or shoulder-device tests you collect yourself.

Is an at-home finger-prick blood test as accurate as a venous draw?

For a handful of markers, usually yes. For a comprehensive panel, no. A capillary sample is small, more prone to haemolysis and rejection, and unreliable for hormones, cortisol, insulin and many specialist assays, which is why finger-prick panels cap at around 50 markers. A venous draw by a phlebotomist is the clinical standard and the only way to run 100 or more markers from one sample.

How does a TrueVitals home visit work?

Choose your panel, pick home visit at checkout (£39) and pay. Your referral is created immediately and never expires. Call the booking line when you are ready and free; the call confirms your identity and date of birth and books the phlebotomist for a date and time that suits you. Nine in ten customers are booked within seven days. The phlebotomist takes a venous sample at your home or office, and your clinician-reviewed report arrives within 4 working days of the draw. You can cancel for a full refund at any time before an appointment is booked.

Do I need to fast for a home blood test?

For the Ultimate and Advanced panels, yes: 8 to 12 hours, water only, with a morning appointment. Fasting insulin, glucose and triglycerides need it and the metabolic indices are calculated from them.

At-Home Blood Test
UK 2026

The short answer: the best at-home blood test in the UK is a phlebotomist's venous draw at your door, not a posted finger-prick kit. Three UK providers send someone to you. TrueVitals sends a phlebotomist anywhere in the UK for £39 and tests 140 biomarkers with a written clinician-reviewed report and a no-findings-no-fee guarantee (£388 all in). Lola Health sends one for £35 and tests 70 with a GMC doctor's written review (£235 all in). Medichecks adds a nurse visit for around £59 to panels of up to 59 markers. Everything else sold as an "at-home test" is a kit you prick yourself.

Deepest at homeTrueVitals Ultimate: 140 markers, £349 + £39 visit, results in 4 working days, no findings no fee.

Cheapest venous home visitLola Peak Insights 70: 70 markers, £200 + £35, doctor's written review, subject to availability in your area.

Not the same thingThriva, Numan and posted Medichecks kits: you collect a capillary sample yourself. Fine for a few markers; not a full screen.

Why the sample matters

"At-home test" means two very different things

A posted kit you prick yourselfA lancet, a small tube, a prepaid envelope. Convenient and cheap, but the sample is small, clots and haemolyses more easily, and is unreliable for hormones, cortisol, insulin and most specialist assays. That is why kit panels stop at around 50 markers and why rejections and retests happen.

A phlebotomist at your doorA trained professional takes a venous sample from your arm, exactly as a hospital would, in about ten minutes at your kitchen table. The sample is large and clean enough to run 140 markers, and hormones, insulin and cortisol are measured properly. This is the clinical standard, and it is what TrueVitals and Lola mean by "at home".

What that unlocksApoB and Lp(a), fasting insulin and HOMA-IR, full thyroid with antibodies, complete hormones, tumour markers, immunoglobulins, cystatin C. None of these are reliable from a finger-prick, and all of them are on Ultimate.

The honest trade-offA visit costs £35 to £59 and needs a booking. If you only want vitamin D or ferritin rechecked, a posted kit is the right tool. If you want a genuine screen, the visit is the only way. Finger-prick vs venous in detail.

How it works

A TrueVitals home visit, start to finish

Choose your panel and pick home visit at checkout. Ultimate (140 markers, £349) or Advanced (74, £269), plus £39 for the visit. Klarna and Payl8r available. Signature is drawn at Randox clinics and includes physical measurements, so it isn't a home visit.

Your referral is created the moment you pay, and it never expires. No calendar to fight with at checkout. Call the booking line when you're ready and free; the call confirms your identity and date of birth for data protection and books the slot there and then. Nine in ten customers are booked within seven days, and you can switch to a clinic (or back) at any point.

The phlebotomist comes to your home or office. Fast from the night before, drink water, and the draw takes about ten minutes. Morning appointments are best for cortisol and hormones.

Your report arrives within 4 working days of the draw. Every marker read against every other, explained organ by organ, reviewed by a clinician before release, with PhenoAge and your TrueScore. If nothing is flagged as sub-optimal, the panel price is refunded. And you have a named account manager for life to ask about any of it.

Cancellation: a full refund at any time before an appointment is booked, automatically; after booking, by email before the appointment. How it works · Refund policy.

Being fair

When another option is the right one

One marker, cheaply. A posted Medichecks or Thriva kit for vitamin D, ferritin or TSH is £19 to £49 and perfectly adequate. Don't pay for a visit to recheck one thing.

The fundamentals for less. Lola's Peak Insights 70 at £235 with the visit covers full hormones, thyroid antibodies, iron studies and ApoB with a doctor's written review. It leaves out Lp(a), insulin, cystatin C and tumour markers beyond PSA, and Lola doesn't offer follow-up. TrueVitals vs Lola.

A face-to-face assessment. If you want an ECG, blood pressure and a consultation on the day, that is a clinic assessment (Bupa, Nuffield, Randox), not a home visit. Many people pair one with a comprehensive home draw for the blood depth.

You'd rather go to a clinic. TrueVitals has 103 partner clinics at £19. Find yours.
