Before your appointment

Prepare for a smooth visit

  • Keep your phone nearby so the collector can reach you on arrival
  • Follow any fasting or medication instructions confirmed by the laboratory
  • Have a clinician's request form ready when one was provided
  • Choose a clean, well-lit place where you can sit comfortably
  • Drink water unless your test instructions say otherwise

Good to know

Collection and results

Test availability: Most blood and urine tests can be collected during a home visit. Some tests may need collection at the laboratory; our team will advise you.

Children and special needs: Tell us when booking so we can assign the right collector and allow enough time.

Results: Turnaround depends on the tests requested. We will explain when and how your confidential report will be released.

Urgent illness: Home collection is not an emergency service. Seek immediate medical care for severe or rapidly worsening symptoms.
