What Is Phlebotomy?
Phlebotomy is the process of taking a blood sample, usually from a vein in your arm, for analysis in a laboratory. Blood tests are an essential part of modern healthcare, used to:
- Check for underlying health conditions
- Monitor ongoing treatments or medications
- Support general health screening
- Provide peace of mind before travel or lifestyle changes
With our private phlebotomy service, you don’t have to wait for GP appointments. Instead, you can choose a time that works for you in a convenient local pharmacy setting.

Point-of-Care Testing with KP Diagnostics

POCT is ideal for:
- Checking certain biomarkers such as beta-hCG, vitamin D, ferritin, HbA1c, cortisol, progesterone, CRP, and folate.
- Patients who want same-day insights into their health.
- Quick screenings before travel, lifestyle changes, or ongoing treatment monitoring.
With POCT via KP Diagnostics, you benefit from the convenience of professional testing and results in minutes, all within the privacy of our pharmacies.
