Can you get a blood test without a doctor?

Taking a blood sample is a simple procedure carried out by a phlebotomist. A phlebotomist is a person specially trained in taking blood. This could be in the form of samples for medical tests, or it could also be for blood donations, for example.
The blood samples are sent away for testing. When you receive your results, you can discuss them with your GP.
