Yes, some tests require a blood sample to be collected by a phlebotomist. In addition if your GP feels it is clinically appropriate for your test to be carried out in this way then they will recommend this, and if you would prefer not to collect your own blood sample then please inform the GP and they will arrange a phlebotomy visit.
