Blood Test Information

Comprehensive private blood testing with expert clinical interpretation. Choose from health screens, specialist profiles, hormone checks, and more.

Optional GP Consultation: If you are unsure which test is right for you, book a GP appointment before or after your phlebotomy session. Our clinicians can help you choose the right tests, explain your results, and advise on any follow-up.

Health Checks

Full-body health checks providing a broad overview of your wellbeing. They assess key markers across blood count, cholesterol, liver and kidney function, hormones, vitamins, and metabolic health.

Essential Health Screen

Why Choose This Test?

  • Detect early signs of common health issues
  • Monitor long-term conditions such as diabetes or high cholesterol
  • Investigate symptoms like fatigue or weight changes
  • Support lifestyle changes by tracking key health numbers

What's Included?

Blood Cell Health (FBC)

Red/white blood cells, platelets, haemoglobin, MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW, HCT, MPV, and differential counts.

Kidney & Electrolytes

Creatinine, eGFR, urea, sodium, potassium, chloride.

Liver Function

⏱ Fasting Guidance

Most tests can be done at any time. For most accurate results, attend in the morning after fasting (no food or drink except water) for 8–10 hours. This is particularly important for cholesterol, glucose, and iron studies. If fasting is not practical, you can still attend — your results will still provide valuable information.
