Home Blood Sampling in Manchester: Fast, Private & Professional
Need blood tests without the travel? Home blood sampling Manchester brings a qualified phlebotomist to your door in Manchester — ideal for busy people, parents, elderly patients, and anyone who prefers testing in the comfort of home.
Why choose home blood sampling in Manchester?
Home blood sampling saves time and reduces stress. Instead of travelling to a clinic, a trained phlebotomist visits your home, takes the sample safely, and ensures it reaches the lab. This service is ideal for routine checks, monitoring chronic conditions, and when mobility or immunosuppression makes clinic visits difficult.
- Convenience: Book a time that suits you — mornings, evenings, or weekends.
- Privacy: No waiting rooms, no queues.
- Professional care: Certified phlebotomists with infection-control practices.

Types of tests we can collect at home

Are home blood tests accurate?
When performed by trained phlebotomists and processed in accredited labs, home-collected samples are accurate and reliable.

Safety & credentials
All phlebotomists are trained, DBS-checked, and follow UK infection-control protocols. BloodSample360 works with accredited laboratories to ensure correct processing and reporting.
Our team holds formal phlebotomy qualifications and undertakes regular continuing professional development (CPD). Every phlebotomist completes refresher training in venepuncture technique, infection prevention, and patient safety so skills stay sharp — and yes, that includes practice on more than just coffee-table cushions. We carry current ID and DBS checks, and our staff are subject to ongoing competency assessments and clinical supervision.
We follow strict infection-control and waste-management procedures: single-use needles and consumables, aseptic technique for every draw, and secure sharps disposal that meets UK clinical-waste regulations. Personal protective equipment (PPE) is used where required, and all equipment is sanitised between visits. This reduces risk for both patients and our staff, particularly for people who are immunosuppressed or otherwise vulnerable.
FAQs
Do I need a GP referral?
Some private tests do not require a GP referral. If your GP has provided a requisition form, the phlebotomist will take the sample and the lab results will be sent to your GP as requested.
What if I bruise or feel faint?
Mild bruising or slight dizziness can happen. Our team is trained to minimise discomfort and provide aftercare instructions. Contact us if you have concerns.
