Medix Blood Clinic · phlebotomy
Blood taken locally, so you don't have to travel for it.
If a doctor, consultant or private clinic has asked you for a blood test, we can take the sample here on Stevenage High Street. A booked appointment, a private room, and a trained phlebotomist, instead of a trip to the hospital and a morning off work.

What this service is
We take the sample. That's our part.
We're being deliberately plain about where our role starts and stops, because it matters more than a marketing line.
We take the sample
A trained phlebotomist takes your blood in our private consultation room. Booked appointments, five minutes from the middle of Stevenage, with parking on the street outside.
We send it to the lab
Your sample goes to [ laboratory partner to confirm ] for processing, packaged and dispatched the same day wherever possible.
Your results go to you
The laboratory issues your results as a PDF. They also go back to the doctor or clinic who requested the test.
What we don't do
We don't decide which test you need, and we don't interpret your results. Both of those sit with the doctor or clinic who requested the test. They hold your full clinical picture and they asked for it for a reason. If you have questions about what your results mean, go back to them.
How it works
From request form to results
Get the request from your doctor
Your GP, consultant or private clinic gives you a request form or a test kit that says exactly what's being tested. We can't take a sample without it.

Before you come
Four things to bring
Your request form
Or the test kit your doctor gave you. It tells us which tubes to fill. Without it we can't take the sample.
Photo ID
So we can be certain the sample is labelled with the right person's details.
Your fasting instructions
If your doctor asked you to fast, follow their instructions, not ours. We'll book you early to make it easier.
A list of your medicines
Some medicines affect results. Your requesting doctor needs to know what you're taking.
