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.

How accurate are home blood tests?

Our labs operate a robust quality control programme to ensure equality standards are met on a day-to-day basis. Each biomarker analysed is validated for both accuracy and repeatability through ISO 15189 and an ongoing external quality assessment scheme which our lab voluntarily participates in.

Forth only uses laboratories with UKAS accreditation ISO 15189, this is an internationally recognised accreditation for laboratories. It is the gold standard in the industry and the same standard met by NHS laboratories.
