A groundbreaking health service is now available in Birmingham, bringing the convenience of professional blood testing directly to residents’ homes. Cocoon, a leading preventative healthcare provider, has launched Cocoon At Home, a service designed to deliver faster, more accurate health insights by sending qualified clinicians to perform comprehensive venous blood draws on-site.
This initiative arrives at a crucial time for Birmingham’s public health. The city faces a troubling reality: men live an average of only 57.6 years in good health versus 61.5 years nationally, while women live just 57.2 years compared to 61.9 years across England. Meanwhile, NHS waiting lists continue to pose challenges, with over 7.6 million people currently awaiting treatment in England.
Unlike standard home finger-prick kits, Cocoon provides full venous blood draws performed by trained phlebotomists, ensuring clinical-grade accuracy. Tests cover key health areas including hormones, fatigue, menopause, cardiovascular status, and overall long-term wellbeing. Results are delivered digitally within 48 to 72 hours, accompanied by personalised clinical reviews and clear, actionable advice.

Sam Naughton, Cocoon’s founder, explains the motivation: “Our experience in Northern England clinics showed us the impact of providing accessible, professional blood testing. Birmingham, with its busy lifestyle, needs a health model that fits seamlessly into everyday life—helping people get early answers before symptoms worsen. Whether it’s hormone imbalances, fertility concerns, or routine male health checks like testosterone and PSA screening, Cocoon At Home empowers individuals to prioritise their health without disrupting their schedules.”
This service especially benefits those who find traditional appointments challenging due to busy lives or prefer the privacy of their homes. Cocoon aims to bridge the gap between casual health awareness and proactive health management, emphasizing reassurance and early detection rather than waiting for illness to appear.
In addition to the home service, Cocoon operates two private clinics in Harrogate, offering cancer screening, GP consultations, ultrasound diagnostics, specialist referrals, midwifery, and wider preventative healthcare. The company is also developing an AI-driven platform that transforms blood test data into predictive health insights, helping users understand not only their current health but future risks and opportunities.
Dr Adam Culverwell, Medical Director at Cocoon, highlights the model’s strength: “By combining convenience with expert clinical support, we ensure people don’t just receive results but also understand them and know what next steps to take. Preventative healthcare is most effective when people are informed early rather than alarmed later.”
Cocoon At Home is now available throughout Birmingham. Appointments can be easily booked online via www.Cocoon-Hgt.com.
