The Phlebotomist

You’ve got the kit. Now what?👇

If you’ve ordered a private blood test kit and need your blood sample taken, we can help.

That’s exactly what we do 👌

Simply book a Standard Blood Draw appointment online, choose a date and time that suits you, complete the booking form, make your payment, and bring your kit to your appointment.

We’ll take your blood sample, package everything up ready for posting, and then all you need to do is send your kit back following your provider’s instructions.

If you’re not sure whether your kit is suitable, just get in touch. We’d be happy to help. 💙

As the number on the scales starts to change, it’s easy to focus on weight alone. But some people also choose to keep an eye on what’s happening behind the scenes.

Our Weight Loss Injection Monitoring Blood Test measures 34 health markers, including liver health, kidney health, pancreas health, cholesterol, blood sugar (HbA1c), iron stores (Ferritin), folate and a full blood count.

It’s designed for people who want to monitor key health markers alongside their weight-loss treatment. The test includes your blood draw, laboratory analysis and a doctor-reviewed report through our testing partner, with results usually available within 4–5 working days.

Appointments are available at our clinic or in the comfort of your own home.

If you’re not sure whether this is the right test for you, just ask. We’d be happy to help.

📝This test is designed to monitor health markers alongside treatment. It does not diagnose medical conditions or replace advice from your prescribing clinician.

You probably see my face (Pav) quite a lot on our social media, but there’s more to The Phlebotomist than just me.

Meet Sam, our Business Support Administrator.

Sam is knowledgeable, supportive, organised, and brings a wealth of experience to the business. Whether it’s helping behind the scenes, keeping things on track, or being there when support is needed, she’s someone I know I can always rely on.

Over the last few months she’s been my left-hand woman, literally. Since breaking my left wrist, she’s stepped up time and time again and helped keep things moving behind the scenes.

We’re a small business, but that doesn’t mean it’s a one-person show. Having the right people around you makes all the difference, and we’re incredibly lucky to have Sam on the team.

Thank you for everything you do Sam 💙

Watching the latest episodes of Clarkson’s Farm has got a lot of people talking.

We’d like to wish a full and speedy recovery following his prostate cancer diagnosis.

Sharing something this personal takes courage. It also starts conversations that many men might otherwise avoid having.

One of the most important messages from his story is the value of talking about your health and seeking advice when something doesn’t feel right.

His story is a reminder not to ignore concerns about your health or put off asking questions.

We offer PSA blood testing as part of our private blood test service. If you’d like to understand more about what the test measures or how the process works, we’re always happy to answer any questions.

If his story has prompted you to think about your own health, feel free to get in touch.

On 1st January 2024, The Phlebotomist officially launched.

What started as an idea has grown into a service supporting people across Swindon and the surrounding areas with their blood testing needs.

Over the last two years, I’ve had the privilege of helping people who were nervous about blood tests, supporting those who had previously been told they were difficult to bleed, and making the process feel a little less stressful and a lot more personal.

Some of the feedback we’ve received has stayed with me. Hearing that someone felt calmer than they expected, finally managed to have a blood test after putting it off for so long, or had a positive experience after struggling elsewhere is exactly why this business exists.

We’ve grown through word of mouth, recommendations, repeat clients, and the support of practitioners who trust us with their clients.

Running a small business isn’t always easy, but seeing people return, recommend us to others, and trust us with their care makes it all worthwhile.

So for Small Business Week, thank you. Whether you’ve booked an appointment, recommended us to a friend, shared a post, left a review, or simply followed the journey, you’ve helped make this possible.

To celebrate Small Business Week, we’re offering £10 off blood draw appointments until 7th June using code SBW26 when booking online.

Thank you for supporting local businesses like ours 💙
