Frequently Asked Questions

How do I pay?

A 50% deposit is chargeable to secure your booking, this can be made via Paypal, bank transfer or in cash. The balance, due after successful blood draw, can be paid in the same ways.

I need to re-arrange

I understand that sometimes life gets in the way, so providing you allow 24hrs notice you can re-arrange for another time free of charge. Less than 24hrs notice will incur a charge.

What if you can't get my blood?

I pride myself on being able to get blood from a stone! But in the unlikely event I am unable to take the sample I will return another time free of charge. In the meantime I will offer suggestions on how you might be able to prepare for next time to make things easier.

How much does it cost?

A visit for a blood test starts from £20 if you are in Lincoln or a 10 mile radius. Outside these areas a small, pre-discussed mileage fee will apply.

Can you send off my blood for me?

Yes, I can post them if they are for an online company and if they are for the hospital/GP can arrange for them to be dropped off (depending on location there may be an additional charge for this). Please note that some tests need to arrive at the lab in certain timeframes, we can discuss this if it applies to you.

Alternatively you are welcome to take the blood sample to the practice or hospital yourself.

Can you do bloods requested from the Hospital?

Yes, providing they have given you the blood request form outlining what tests they need doing and where they would like them sending.

Can you do bloods requested by the GP?

Yes, providing you live in Lincoln and surrounding areas and have the printed blood request form from the surgery.

Can you do private blood testing?

I cannot request bloods for you or interpret the results. However if you have used an online testing company and need blood taking on their behalf, I can do that no problem. The company will send out the kit required and the blood test form.

Can you take blood from children?

I am happy to work with children aged 11 and older providing they are not unduly nervous and would benefit from specialist input from a paediatric team.
