Phlebotomy (from the Greek words phlebo-, meaning "pertaining to a blood vessel", and -tomia, meaning "cutting of") is the process of making an incision in a vein with a needle. Phlebotomists collect blood for donation or for testing, so the blood can be analysed in a clinical laboratory. Blood tests are used to diagnose illness, evaluate the effectiveness of medications and determine whether a patient is receiving proper nutrition.
At Radiant Balance we offer a Phlebotomy service to our patients as well as to private patients of various laboratories in the UK to anyone 18 years or older.
