The BloodClinic UK

Replacing 7,000 lines of risky legacy code with a secure lab-integrated patient platform.

A private blood testing clinic running on three outsourced plugins and around seven thousand lines of code nobody could safely touch. Bookings hung, results were hard to read, and a medical PDF could be downloaded by anyone who guessed the link. We rebuilt the whole thing: the booking engine, the patient portal, the reporting, the lab connection and the back office the owner runs it from.

01 · The Challenge

Where friction was costing momentum before the rebuild.

01

Critical security flaw exposing guessable medical PDF URLs

Legacy outsourced plugins served patient blood test PDFs at public endpoints without proper tokenised ownership checks.

02

7,000 lines of untouched code hanging live customer bookings

Nobody could modify or debug the sprawling legacy snippet stack without breaking WooCommerce or lab dispatches.

03

Dense unreadable lab outputs lacking patient context

Patients struggled to interpret raw pathology figures after downloading their reports.

02 · Our Approach

What we changed, engineered, and shipped cleanly.

01

Clean re-architecture across 5 clinical layers

Rebuilt the booking engine, authenticated patient portal, biomarker reporting UI, lab API integration, and clinic owner back-office cleanly.

02

Strict portal access & readable diagnostic reporting

Replaced open URL PDFs with authenticated portal downloads and visual biomarker range presentations.

03 · The Work

Built for desktop clarity and thumb-first mobile conversion.
