How do I take my blood sample

It’s easy to take a finger prick blood sample, but we know for some this can be a bit nerve-wracking, especially if you haven’t done it before. So, we’ve created a how-to video to help you collect a successful sample. But don’t worry if you don’t manage to get it right first time, just contact our customer support team at help@forthsupport.co.uk to request a replacement kit.

Can I have someone take my blood for me?

Yes. We offer two options if you do not want to do our finger prick test. The first is a home appointment where a nurse comes to your home to take a blood sample. The second is to visit a Phlebotomy clinic near you that offers a blood sample service. A blood sample will be taken from your vein and we will provide you with everything you need to give to the nurse to allow them to take the sample. The nurse will give you the blood sample to return to us using the pre-paid envelope provided.

"A thyroid function blood test evaluates the health of your thyroid gland. It measures levels of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Abnormal results can reveal hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) or hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), this test is particularly useful for looking at causes of fatigue, mood changes and weight fluctuations. "

Easy to follow instructions. Bit tricky to use but I don’t give blood easily. Would do another test as thyroid results were on the low side of normal.

I wanted to get more information about my own health instead of using the NHS who just test for a specific reason. I also wanted better historical data to view changes over time as the NHS systems aren’t very good for that.

Finding out what is going on inside your body is key, especially now that the NHS is in crisis. If we can take control of our wellness (and flag up potential problems early) that has got to be a good thing.
