What is it?
A blood test involves drawing a small sample of your blood to analyse different aspects of your health, such as organ function, blood sugar levels, cholesterol, and the presence of certain diseases or deficiencies. It's a crucial part of both diagnosis and routine health monitoring.
Whether for routine tests, specialised investigations, or wellness checks, our phlebotomy services are designed to meet your needs with minimal wait times and personalised care. We also provide flexible scheduling options to accommodate busy lifestyles, ensuring safety and quality are available for all our patients.

Additional Information
What is Included?
A healthcare professional will draw a small sample of blood, which will be sent to a laboratory for analysis. The results will be reviewed with you in a follow-up consultation to discuss any findings and next steps.
What to Expect
During the blood test, a small amount of blood is drawn, typically from a vein in your arm. The procedure is quick, usually taking only a few minutes, and involves minimal discomfort. You may feel a slight pinch when the needle is inserted.
What Happens Next?
After the blood sample is taken, it will be analysed at a laboratory. The results are usually available within a few days. You will have a follow-up appointment to review the results, discuss their implications, and decide on any further action or treatment if necessary.
Pricing
Phlebotomy fee is £30, total price depending on test required.
