Different blood tests require different preparation; you will be advised of the specific arrangements when you book your appointment. For example, for some tests, you will need to fast (refrain from eating or drinking).
Blood tests
When your clinician requests a blood test for you, our experienced clinical team members are able to take blood samples and send it to the laboratory for processing. Results are often available the following day; some tests take longer to process but you will be advised if this is the case during your appointment.
Blood tests: From £45
