Also, note How our Home Kits Work
Order your kit online and once it arrive collect your sample at home.
Drop off the parcel preferably in the morning to get the earlier box clearances. Using the Return Track24 pre-paid label on each kit, drop the package off at the nearest Royal Mail Priority Red Box to return it to the Lab.
Once your results are ready, we will send you an email with your certificate.
When collecting your sample, try the following tips:
- Drink plenty of water. Being well-hydrated will make it easier to manage your sample.
- Shower before you take your Anaemia Blood test or run your hands under warm water, as heat improves blood flow.
- Do light exercise (move around, walk, etc.) to get the blood flowing.
- Ensure your arm is below your heart level – let gravity do some of the work.
- Nails that are too long can make it difficult to collect a sample.
- Do not shake the sample vigorously, but invert the tube gently ten times. (gently swirl the line after each drop of blood).
- Do not squeeze the finger.
- Re-warm your hands during collection when needed.
How long do the results take?
However, the target turnaround time for the anaemia Blood test results is 1-3 working days. However, the turnaround time is a guide only and sometimes depends on assay run schedules.
But, importantly, please take your sample from Monday to Thursday to avoid delivery delays at the lab.
Our Laboratory Scientists take care of your samples.
Lastly, the Medicines Online outpatient clinic can also be used for an anaemia blood test UK-wide in the Battersea/Clapham Junction area. It is 2 mins from the tube.

Have used a few private blood testing companies over the years and Medicines Online are by far the best. Whenever I’ve needed to sort anything out, their customer service has always been exceptional. They’re fast and reliable and highly recommended!
