How a private blood test works
No referral, no waiting list and no jargon. Here is exactly what happens from the moment you choose a test to the moment your results land in your inbox.
- 1
Choose your test
Search by test name, symptom or individual biomarker. Every page lists exactly what is measured, the price and the turnaround time.
- 2
Book your appointment
Pick Widnes or Crewe and a time that suits you. Most appointments take 10–15 minutes from arrival to leaving.
- 3
Give your sample
A qualified phlebotomist takes your blood sample, labels it in front of you and sends it to the laboratory the same day.
- 4
Get your results
Results are returned securely by email, with your reference ranges. If anything needs urgent attention we call you.
Preparing for your appointment
- • Drink plenty of water beforehand — it makes taking the sample much easier.
- • Wear a top with sleeves that roll up comfortably.
- • Fast for 8–12 hours (water only) if your test covers cholesterol, lipids or glucose.
- • Bring a list of any medication or supplements you take regularly.
- • Tell us if you have ever fainted during a blood test — we will take our time.
