Blood Tests

What is a blood test?

A blood test is when a small sample of your blood is taken and sent to a lab for testing. Blood tests are very common and can be used to:

  • Check your overall health

  • Find out if you have an infection

  • See how well your organs (like your liver or kidneys) are working

Usually, a blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm, often near the elbow or wrist. For children, it’s often taken from the back of the hand. A special cream is used to numb the area first so it doesn’t hurt.

You can learn more about blood tests and how they’re done on the NHS website.
