How rapid tests work

From sample to result in one appointment.

Rapid tests use a small blood sample — taken from a fingertip or arm vein — and process it using a point-of-care analyser at the pharmacy. Unlike standard lab panels, which are sent to an accredited laboratory overnight, rapid tests return a result while you wait.

Results are reviewed by our clinician during your appointment and confirmed to you verbally. A written result can be provided on request. For tests where further action is needed, your clinician will advise on next steps before you leave.

Same-day results. Most rapid tests return results within 10–30 minutes of sample collection. No waiting for a laboratory report.

Common questions

Rapid blood test FAQs.

What is the difference between a rapid test and a lab blood test?
Rapid tests use a point-of-care analyser at the pharmacy and return results in 10–30 minutes. Standard lab tests require your sample to be sent to an accredited laboratory, with results typically returning in 24–72 hours. Rapid tests cover a focused range of key markers; lab panels can cover over 2,000 biomarkers. Both are reviewed by a clinician.
Do I need to fast before a rapid blood test?
Most rapid tests do not require fasting. The HbA1c test does not require fasting as it measures your average blood glucose over 2–3 months. If you are also having a cholesterol or fasting glucose test, fasting for 9–12 hours is recommended. We will confirm any requirements when you book.
How accurate are rapid blood tests?
Our point-of-care analysers are CE-marked and used in clinical settings. Results are reviewed by a GPhC-registered clinician. Where a confirmatory lab test is advisable, your clinician will tell you. Rapid tests are appropriate for screening and monitoring, not definitive diagnosis in isolation.
What happens if my result is abnormal?
Your clinician will explain the result, advise whether a follow-up lab test or GP referral is needed, and answer your questions before you leave. We can also arrange a pharmacist consultation on the same visit if appropriate.
Can I have more than one rapid test in one visit?
Yes. Multiple rapid tests can be combined in a single appointment where clinically appropriate. Book each test separately in Halaxy, or call us and we will arrange a combined slot.
