Home visits in Kenilworth do not incur any additional charges. We are happy to provide non obligatory quotes for any home visits.

Yes of course. We will ask you to forward us details of your form so we can check your NHS area lab testing requirements. We always recommend samples go back to the NHS lab in your part of the country, so that results do not go astray if taken in another area. We label & package up your bloods & provide you with a map/location of where to drop the samples at your local hospital/path lab. Results go back to the requesting Dr in the normal way. We also provide home visits in many parts of the UK and we would then ensure your blood samples are safely delivered to your nearest NHS lab.
