Blood test in Nijmegen.

Yes, at 6 of the 8 locations in and around Nijmegen you can walk in, including Centraal, Huisartsenpraktijk Daniëlsplein and Medisch Centrum Onder de Linde. There too you pick a one-hour arrival window in the Optimize app and confirm you are coming, so the lab expects you. The other locations draw at a time slot you schedule in the app.

No. You start online yourself, without a GP referral, and then pick a Nijmegen location and a time slot in the Optimize app.

You draw at a location run by SHO, but you schedule and pay through Optimize, without a referral, and your results come with explanations in the Optimize app. Have a referral from your GP? Then you make the appointment with the lab itself and the results go to your GP.

At 8 locations in and around the city: at the draw point on the Kamerlingh Onnesstraat, the Daniëlsplein GP practice, the Oud Burgeren Gasthuis and Medisch Centrum Onder de Linde in Hatert, and beyond that in Beuningen, Wijchen, Groesbeek and Ewijk. All addresses are on this page, sorted by distance.

Yes. In Wijchen you draw at Leefstijlcentrum Wijchen Gezond on the Passedwarsstraat, in Beuningen at the health centre on the Julianaplein and in Ewijk on the Vordingstraat. In the app you simply pick the address that suits you best; the lab and the results are the same everywhere.

Not automatically. You draw without a referral, so your GP need not be involved: your results come with explanations in the Optimize app, and you can always take them along to a consultation yourself.

Yes. Every draw is fasted: nothing to eat or drink from midnight, only water. Appointments are therefore in the morning, until 12:00, so you only postpone breakfast. The app tells you exactly how to prepare.

Usually within 24 hours of your appointment. As soon as SHO is done, your results appear in the Optimize app, explained per value in plain language and translated into what it means for your lifestyle.
