Test don’t guess <\/h2>\n\n\n

Testing is a big part of making sure that any time spent with a health practitioner is used wisely.\u00a0 Whenever mystery symptoms crop up it is always a good idea to consider blood testing.\u00a0 It can give you a really clear insight into what is going on inside your body and blood never lies!\u00a0Information you can get from a simple blood draw means that together we can fast track your progress towards feeling yourself, achieving your goals and becoming the healthiest version of yourself possible.\u00a0 In order to get a good range of markers tested you need a venous blood draw (from the vein) and for that you will need to see a phlebotomist.<\/p>\n\n\n

Building my own solutions! – why becoming a phlebotomist was the answer<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

My frustration has been that getting a private blood draw for testing has become more and more challenging.\u00a0 For a long time, I have been asking clients to drive miles to see a phlebotomist.\u00a0 I dislike this as I feel that it is inconvenient, and takes up your precious time.<\/p>\n

So, a few months ago I decided that I would add blood draws to my clinical offering.\u00a0 I started the research process to find a suitable trainer.\u00a0 I was horrified to learn that there is no formal pathway to become an accredited phlebotomist.\u00a0 In fact anyone can set up without training and start taking blood!\u00a0 Insurance might be another matter however.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

If you have worked with me before, you\u2019ll know I am always keen to do things \u201cthe right way\u201d. \u00a0With this phlebotomist training process, that wasn\u2019t necessarily either the easy or cheaper way to do things!\u00a0<\/p>\n

I attended the weekend-long training and obtained my Certificate to Practice.\u00a0 I could be confident that I could perform blood draws safely and efficiently, without risk or harm to my clients.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That wasn\u2019t enough for me however, I wanted to ensure that I could set up the best clinical environment, equipment, policies and processes.\u00a0 I signed myself up for a face-to-face mentoring process and completed my first mentoring day in December.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was a great opportunity to observe blood draws performed in the real world, implementing first aid when required and viewing a fully functioning blood clinic.\u00a0 I completed my first few draws on real humans and found that quickly I got into a rhythm with it all.<\/p>\n\n\n

I’ve found my home<\/h3>\n\n\n

I am delighted to say that I have now found my blood clinic base at Le Roux Chiropractic in Weston Super Mare, and the space is fantastic.\u00a0 I can offer blood draw services one morning a month at the moment.\u00a0 This means that I can fast-track my local clients through their blood draw process.\u00a0 We then have results to work through and can make headway towards your health goals without delay!<\/p>\n\n\n
