About this test

Blood group and Rhesus status are two simple pieces of information that can matter for medical treatment, blood donation, travel or family planning, and this test reports both from a single venous blood sample.

With two biomarkers it sits toward the lower end of the general wellness tests we track for depth, which reflects how narrow and specific this listing is rather than a shortfall. It scores well on price, coming in well below the median for similarly sized general wellness tests we track. Collection convenience is more limited than some of Blue Horizon's other tests, since there is no at-home finger-prick option here: you need a venous draw at a clinic or a home nurse visit, with results back in 5 days. The listing is fairly clear about turnaround, collection and the sample type, but the provider does not publish much further description for this specific product.

The provider, Blue Horizon Medicals, has been trading since 2009, works with UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs, and holds a Trustpilot score of 4.2 from 395 reviews. Results here are reviewed by a doctor.

Who is it for?

This is a sensible choice if you need documented proof of your blood group and Rhesus status, for example ahead of travel, a medical procedure, or blood donation, and do not already have this on record. It is not designed to look at anything beyond blood typing, so a different, broader panel would be needed for a wider health check. We do not have peer tests logged in this comparison group, so we cannot say how it compares on price or depth with other providers' blood typing tests.

How it works

A qualified healthcare professional takes a venous blood sample using a vacutainer, either at a clinic or during a home nurse visit; there is no at-home finger-prick option for this test. Once the sample reaches the lab it is tested for ABO blood group and Rhesus (D) status, and a doctor reviews the result before you receive it, typically within 5 days.

Pros & cons

Pros

Covers both ABO blood group and Rhesus (D) status in one sample.
Comes in well below the typical price for general wellness tests of this size.
A home nurse visit is available if you cannot get to a clinic.
Doctor review is included as standard.

Cons

No at-home finger-prick option, only a venous draw.
Provider gives little description of the test beyond the collection method.
Only two biomarkers, so it will not tell you anything about wider health.

Editorial confidence: 10.0/10

Blood group and Rhesus (D) status are the two things this test reports, from a single venous sample, at £82.25. There is no at-home option, so you need a clinic visit or a home nurse visit, with doctor-reviewed results within 5 days. It is priced well below the median for similarly sized general wellness tests we track, though it covers only two markers.
