What to expect at your appointment
Your visit is quick and straightforward. A friendly, NHS-trained phlebotomist takes a small blood sample from your arm; the same venous method used by the NHS, usually in just a few minutes. From there:
- Your sample is analysed by a UKAS-accredited laboratory.
- Your results are reviewed by a GMC-registered doctor before you receive them.
- Most results are returned within 1–2 working days.
If any of your markers need attention, your results will make that clear so you can follow up with your GP where appropriate.
What tests can I have?
Everything from a quick single marker, such as HbA1c for blood sugar, a cholesterol check, or a thyroid test, through to a comprehensive full-body health screen covering 50+ markers in a single visit. Popular choices include general wellbeing screens, thyroid and hormone panels, vitamin and iron checks, and cardiovascular risk profiles. You can browse all tests or, if you’re unsure, let our Test Finder point you in the right direction.
Why choose a local clinic?
A local, in-person appointment means a professional takes your sample; no fiddly home finger-prick kits, no posting your own blood, and enough sample for comprehensive panels. It’s a more reliable route to good-quality results, and you get the reassurance of a trained phlebotomist and a doctor-reviewed report.
Serving Gloucester and the wider county
