Remote blood testing
Keep your health business running and support your patients with remote blood testing
The impact of coronavirus on private health professionals
For many health practitioners, nutritionists and lifestyle coaches, coronavirus has changed the way that people access their appointments and consultations. Fortunately, there is still a way for you to support patients and clients who may have chosen virtual healthcare, to self-isolate or are social distancing.
With Medichecks’ home-to-lab blood tests you can continue to offer a full health service remotely, allowing you to keep your businesses running during this uncertain time.
Remote testing - how does it work?
Medichecks offers a comprehensive range of home-to-lab blood tests which your clients can do in the comfort of their own home using an easy finger-prick sample collection kit. This eliminates the need for them to visit a clinic or have a nurse come to their house to have their blood drawn. Here’s how it works:
Step 1 - test kit delivered to your patient
Patients will receive their test kit in the post. As it is small enough to fit through their letterbox, they can be reassured that they will have limited contact with other people. The kit will contain everything they need to take their sample at home, including easy-to-follow instructions.
Step 2 - patient collects sample and posts to the lab
Once they have collected their sample they will then return the kit to our laboratory in the prepaid envelope provided. This can fit through the post box so there's no need for them to visit the post office.
Step 3 - results delivered securely online
Once the laboratory has analysed the sample, your patient’s personalised results will be made available easily online through a secure portal. You can then discuss these results with your patient during a phone or video consultation.
With this easy process, you can remove the need for face-to-face appointments and your patients can be reassured that they can still continue to use your services without jeopardising their own safety or the safety of others.
