About blood testing

Why get a private blood test?

Private blood testing gives you access to comprehensive health panels without waiting for a GP appointment or fitting NHS-criteria thresholds. Many patients use private testing to get a baseline picture of their health, to investigate symptoms sooner, or to monitor a condition proactively.

All results are reviewed by a clinician before being sent to you. Your pharmacist can discuss results with you and advise on next steps, including GP referral where needed.

Common questions

Blood test FAQs.

Do I need to fast before my blood test?
Some panels require fasting, particularly cholesterol, glucose, full MOT, and liver function tests. We will confirm fasting requirements when you book. If fasting is required, avoid food and drink (other than water) for 8–12 hours before your appointment. Morning slots are easiest for fasting tests.
How long does the appointment take?
Sample collection takes approximately 10–15 minutes including registration and the brief clinical check. Rapid tests are analysed in 10–30 minutes at the pharmacy. Lab-sent panels take 24–72 hours from processing, not from your appointment.
What is the difference between a rapid test and a lab-sent test?
Rapid tests are analysed on-site with a result usually available within 10–30 minutes of your appointment, at a flat £50 per test. Lab-sent panels are sent to an accredited laboratory and take 24–72 hours, with pricing varying by panel. Your pharmacist can advise which option suits your needs.
How will I receive my results?
Rapid test results are given at the pharmacy during your visit. Lab-sent results are sent directly to you via secure email from the laboratory, after clinician verification, with a written commentary included. Your pharmacist can also discuss results with you by phone or at the pharmacy.
Can I share results with my GP?
Yes. Your results can be shared with any clinician. If your results indicate a concern that requires GP follow-up, your pharmacist will advise and can provide a summary letter if helpful.
The test I need isn’t listed here, do you still offer it?
Very likely. Over 2,000 panels are available beyond those shown on this page. Contact the pharmacy and we will confirm availability and pricing.
