WHY TEST PRIVATELY

The test you want, when you want it

Book the panel you want this week, have your sample taken by our trained phlebotomist here at the pharmacy, and sit down with a pharmacist who explains what every number actually means. No referral, no eligibility criteria, and no waiting for a review date.

Routine NHS care tests when there is a clinical reason to, and usually orders the narrowest panel that answers the question. Private testing exists for everything else: the baseline you want before changing your diet, the trend you want to track, and the question you want answered properly.

Testing privately never cuts you off from your usual care. If anything in your results needs following up, your pharmacist will say so clearly and tell you exactly what to raise with your doctor.

  • No referral needed. Book directly — nothing to justify to anyone first.
  • Wider panels. Markers usually reserved for second-line testing are included as standard.
  • Test on your schedule. Repeat at sensible intervals to track a change, rather than waiting for the next review.
  • Reviewed by a doctor. Your sample is analysed by a laboratory, then a doctor reviews the results and provides a comprehensive report highlighting anything worth acting on.
TESTS OFFERED

Our blood test menu

Every panel we offer, what it covers, and what it costs. Prices are all-in — your appointment, the blood draw and your results.

Cholesterol Test

20 min appointment
£74

High cholesterol has no symptoms — the first sign is often a cardiac event. A private test means you can check your lipid profile now rather than waiting to qualify for a routine health check, and repeat it at sensible intervals to track whether a diet or statin change is working.

What this test measures (5 markers):
  • Total cholesterol
  • LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein)
  • HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein)
  • Triglycerides
  • Total:HDL ratio

Diabetes (HbA1c) Health Check

20 min appointment
£80

HbA1c shows your average blood sugar over the last two to three months, so it catches pre-diabetes long before symptoms appear. No referral and no eligibility criteria — useful if you have a family history, a raised BMI, or you simply want to know where you stand.

What this test measures (1 marker):
  • HbA1c (glycated haemoglobin), explained against the pre-diabetes and diabetes thresholds

Full Thyroid Profile

20 min appointment
£114

The NHS normally tests TSH alone, and only checks free T4 if that first result comes back abnormal. Free T3 and thyroid antibodies are rarely included. If you have thyroid symptoms but a "normal" TSH, a full profile is what tells you the rest of the picture.

What this test measures (4 markers):
  • TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone)
  • Free T4
  • Free T3
  • Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO) antibodies

Menopause Hormone Profile

20 min appointment
£114

NICE guidance says hormone testing is not needed to diagnose menopause in women over 45 with typical symptoms — so GPs often, and correctly, decline to test. It is genuinely useful if you are under 45, if your symptoms are unclear, or if you want an objective baseline before starting HRT.

What this test measures (4 markers):
  • FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone)
  • LH (Luteinising Hormone)
  • Oestradiol
  • Thyroid function, to rule out the overlap with thyroid symptoms

Testosterone Check

20 min appointment
£74

Low testosterone symptoms — fatigue, low mood, low libido, loss of muscle — overlap with a dozen other things, which makes it easy to dismiss without a number. A direct test gives you that number without needing to argue the case for a referral first.

What this test measures (1 marker):
  • Total testosterone (best taken in the morning, when levels peak)

Testosterone Plus

20 min appointment
£94

Total testosterone alone can be misleading — most of it is bound to SHBG and biologically unavailable. The Plus panel measures what is actually free and usable, which is the number that matters if your total result sits in the grey zone.

What this test measures (3 markers):
  • Total testosterone
  • SHBG (Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin)
  • Calculated free testosterone

Full Health MOT

20 min appointment
£124

A broad annual baseline across the systems a GP would only test one at a time, and only once you presented with a symptom. Most useful as a repeat test — one reading is a snapshot, two a year apart is a trend.

What this test measures (6 categories):
  • Full blood count
  • Liver and kidney function
  • Cholesterol
  • HbA1c
  • Iron studies
  • Thyroid function

Premier Health Profile

20 min appointment
£134

Our most comprehensive panel — everything in the Full Health MOT plus the vitamin and mineral markers that turn up the most common correctable deficiencies. The right choice if you want one test to cover the ground properly.

What this test measures (10 categories):
  • Everything in the Full Health MOT (see above)
  • Vitamin D
  • Vitamin B12
  • Folate
  • Additional inflammatory markers

BLOOD TEST FAQs

Common Questions

No. Every test on this page is available directly — no referral, no eligibility criteria, and no need to explain why you would like it.

Come well hydrated — it makes the blood draw quicker and more comfortable. If your particular test needs fasting or a specific time of day, we'll tell you when you book.

A trained phlebotomist, here at the pharmacy in Bromley. The appointment is 20 minutes; the draw itself takes a couple of minutes.

Results are normally available within three working days, though this can vary depending on the test. We'll confirm the expected timeframe when you book.

Yes. Following analysis of your blood sample by a laboratory, a doctor reviews your results and provides a comprehensive report, with specific areas highlighted where action is recommended.

No — it complements it. A private test gives you information; your GP holds your full medical record and manages your care. If a result needs acting on, we'll tell you clearly and you should take it to your GP.

If you have a specific symptom or concern, pick the panel that matches it. If you want a general baseline, the Full Health MOT or Premier Health Profile is the better starting point. Call us if you'd like help deciding.

Most of our panels need no special preparation, and coming well hydrated makes the blood draw easier. Where a panel has specific requirements, such as a morning appointment for testosterone, we tell you when you book.

The doctor reviewing your results highlights it in your report, with a clear note on what is recommended. You are never left alone with a number, and you can take the report straight to your GP.
