Finger-prick or venous blood test?
Blood-test packages use different sample collection methods. Some offer a home finger-prick kit, others require venous blood drawn at a clinic, and some support both. The method you choose can affect which tests are available — see the qualification notes above for details.
| Package | Collection methods |
|---|---|
| Baseline Blood Test | Finger-prick (home kit), Venous (clinic) and Venous (home nurse/phlebotomist) |
| Ultimate Performance | Finger-prick (home kit) and Venous (clinic) |
| Optimal Health Blood Test | Venous (clinic) and Venous (home nurse/phlebotomist) |
| Randox Everyman & Everywoman Complete | Venous (clinic) |
How these blood tests differ
The main differences between these packages are price, sample collection method, turnaround time, and the breadth of biomarker areas tested. Clinical interpretation is provided as a written review or report from a clinician, not a live consultation. One Day Tests offers an optional GP or video consultation at additional cost. A larger number of biomarkers does not automatically make a package more suitable for your needs.
Methodology & data freshness
Our comparison data is standardised from provider information. Each test area is marked with one of the following statuses:
Included means the provider confirms the test is part of the package. Clinically indicated means it is provided only in certain circumstances, such as based on age or sex. Optional add-on means it is available at extra cost. Not confirmed means we have not found enough reliable provider information to confirm whether it is included — we do not assume it is excluded.
A larger number of biomarkers or test categories does not automatically make a package more suitable for an individual. Prices and package contents can change. Always check the provider's website before booking.
