Thriva

A London health company offering at-home and clinic blood tests with advice from clinicians, for individuals and for NHS and other partners.

About Thriva

Thriva sells blood tests that people can take at home or at a clinic. Samples go to accredited labs, and results come back with clear explanations. Its tests cover things like vitamins, hormones and risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

Thriva says it wants to give people the tools to monitor their health on their own terms, and to build a "people-centric healthcare system". Another profile quotes its aim to improve the health span of millions of people.

Thriva is based in London and offers its service across the UK. It is registered with the Care Quality Commission (the health regulator in England), as announced in May 2023. It also has a business arm, Thriva Solutions, which works with government, NHS hospitals, insurers and GPs.

A business-adviser case study says the team is driven by feedback from users who benefited from early health checks, takes privacy seriously and offers flexible working. That is the company and its adviser describing it, so ask at interview.

It was founded by Hamish Grierson, Tom Livesey and Eliot Brooks. We did not find any graduate schemes, internships or apprenticeships, or current job listings, so check Thriva's careers page.
