Private blood test provider?

6 replies

ProcrastinatorsAnonymous · 09/09/2022 14:59

Can anyone recommend a private blood test provider accessible from London area? Feeling like total crap for best part of a year, going from one illness to the next and hoping to get to the bottom of it. Not sure if it's peri menopause (I'm early 40s) or maybe some sort of long covid or if I'm deficient in something.

As a minimum, I would like to get Full blood count, Kidney Function, Liver Function, Lipids, Ferritin, Thyroid function (TSH, T4 and T3), HbA1c, Oestradiol, Testosterone, Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG), Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, Folate

NHS waiting lists long and I don't want to clog up the system, so can anyone recommend a reliable private provider where I can get this done and someone to interpret the results? Do I need a private GP for this sort of thing?

Thanks!

You can ask your GP to order these quite easily

Most of those tests are in a standard GP profile with a few add ons. I would just go via your GP for an over 40 check up.

I've also used Medichecks a lot and they have been great

I got most of those from my GP without too much of a wait, although as mine was suspected long Covid they wouldn't do them until 3 months post infection.
