NHS app to offer home blood tests
Booking a blood test could soon be as easy as ordering a takeaway via the NHS app. Health Secretary Wes Streeting is championing the app as central to the future of UK healthcare, with basic at-home tests rolling out from April 2026 across seven medical specialities, according to the Health Service Journal. Initial tests may include liver function, cholesterol, STIs, and prostate cancer monitoring via PSA blood checks.
