TAP blood tests

[HertsMum80]

I am petrified of needles and haven’t needed a blood test since I was in uni. I note Thriva offer a touch activated phlebotomy and wondered if anyone had used one?

i’m really sensory so the idea of an uncovered needle going in my arm and the associated pain or pinch petrifies me.

I’ve used it. You put it on your arm and press a button. It feels like a little prick in your arm. You don’t see the needle. I kept my arm moving and it filled up quite quickly. Really simple.

Is the prick constant? Did it tell you enough information that a doctor ordered blood test would?
