Blood Testing in London

The Strep A Test is a single‑marker blood assay that looks for the presence of Streptococcus A bacteria in a venous blood sample. Detecting this bacterium may support the evaluation of sore‑throat or skin‑infection symptoms, helping clinicians decide whether antibiotics are likely needed. It’s priced at £60 (blood‑draw fee £15 extra) and returns results within a typical laboratory turnaround time.

The Hepatitis C Test is a single‑marker blood screen that looks for antibodies against hepatitis C (anti‑HCV). It tells you whether your immune system has ever encountered the virus, which can help you decide on further follow‑up. The test uses a venous blood draw and costs £60 (excluding the £15 phlebotomy fee).

The Herpes Simplex 1 (HSV1 IgG/IgM) Test is a simple blood draw that looks for antibodies to the HSV‑1 virus. It measures two specific markers – HSV‑1 IgG and HSV‑1 IgM – to tell whether you have been exposed in the past (IgG) or may have a recent infection (IgM). This test is useful for anyone who suspects a recent outbreak, is planning a pregnancy, or needs documentation for work or travel, and it costs £60 plus a £15 blood‑taking fee.

Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG) is a single‑marker blood test that measures the amount of SHBG protein circulating in your bloodstream. SHBG binds to sex hormones such as testosterone and estrogen, influencing how much of these hormones are freely available to tissues – a factor that can be relevant for hormone balance, fertility, and metabolic health. This test is ideal for adults who are evaluating hormone‑related concerns, and it uses a venous blood draw; results are typically returned within a few business days.

The CRP Semi‑Quantitative Rapid Test measures the level of C‑Reactive Protein in a single venous blood sample. CRP is an inflammation marker that may help you understand acute or chronic inflammatory activity. It’s ideal for adults who want a quick snapshot of inflammation, and the test includes a 1‑marker panel priced at £60 (blood‑draw fee extra).

The Folate (Red Cell) test measures vitamin B9 levels in red blood cells from a venous sample, helping you assess nutritional status that may support healthy cell division.

A five-biomarker thyroid panel measuring TSH, free T3, free T4, anti-TPO, and anti-TG antibodies. Goes beyond the standard GP thyroid screen by including both active thyroid hormones and autoimmune markers. Results in 24 hours.

The HbA1c (Venous) test measures glycated haemoglobin from a venous blood sample, offering a view of average blood glucose over the past 2‑3 months that may support diabetes risk assessment.

The Progesterone test measures progesterone concentration in a venous blood sample. Progesterone is essential for preparing the uterine lining and supporting early pregnancy, so its level may support evaluations of luteal phase health or fertility. The test costs £63 plus a £50 phlebotomy charge and examines a single biomarker.

The Oestradiol‑17‑Beta test quantifies estradiol (E2) in a venous blood sample. Estradiol is a key estrogen that influences menstrual cycles, bone health, and cardiovascular risk, so measuring it may support hormone‑balance evaluations. Priced at £63 plus a £50 phlebotomy fee, this single‑marker assay is aimed at individuals monitoring reproductive or menopausal health.

The Luteinising Hormone (LH) test measures the level of LH in a venous blood sample. LH helps regulate the menstrual cycle and fertility, so its measurement may support assessments of reproductive health. This single‑marker test is priced at £63 and requires a phlebotomy visit (additional £50). It is suitable for adults evaluating ovulation or pituitary function.

The Liver Function test evaluates ALT, AST and Bilirubin to give a picture of liver health. Priced at £69, it may help you understand how efficiently your liver processes proteins and clears waste, which is useful for those on medication or with lifestyle concerns.

The Pregnancy Blood Test is a simple blood draw designed to help you determine whether you are pregnant. By analyzing a single sample, the test looks for the hormone that typically rises early in pregnancy, providing information that may support your next steps. The service costs $73, and the price does not include the optional consultation fee. It’s a quick way for anyone suspecting pregnancy to get an early indication without imaging.

A Full Blood Count (FBC) is a routine blood test that measures the major components of your blood—red cells, white cells, platelets, and hemoglobin—providing a snapshot of overall health.

Ideal for adults who want a broad health snapshot, it costs £75 plus a £15 fee for the blood draw.

The Liver Function Test is a blood analysis that checks how well your liver is working. It measures key enzymes and proteins that may indicate liver health, helping you understand potential issues. Priced at £78, the fee does not include the clinician’s consultation, so you’ll know exactly what the lab work costs before any appointment.

The Testosterone Test measures the level of testosterone in a blood sample, helping you understand hormone balance that can affect energy, mood, and muscle health. It’s designed for adults who suspect low or high testosterone and want a clear picture of their levels. The test costs $79, and the price does not include any consultation fee, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

The Iron Studies panel examines three key iron‑related markers—Ferritin, Iron (Fe), and Total Iron‑Binding Capacity (TIBC)—from a venous blood sample. Together they provide a picture of iron storage, circulating iron, and the blood’s capacity to transport iron, which may support the evaluation of anemia or iron overload. This test is aimed at adults experiencing fatigue, frequent headaches, or those with a history of iron‑related disorders.

Members of the health plan can book a GP visit for £80, a reduced rate compared with the standard £99 fee.

The Vitamin B12 (Active) test measures the biologically active form of B12 in a venous blood sample. Active B12 is crucial for nerve function and red‑cell production, so its level may support assessments of deficiency or neurological health. The test costs £81 plus a £50 phlebotomy fee and evaluates a single biomarker.

An eleven-biomarker nutritional panel measuring vitamin D, vitamin B12, folic acid, iron status (ferritin, iron, TIBC, transferrin, transferrin saturation), calcium, magnesium, and albumin. Identifies the most common micronutrient deficiencies in the UK population. Results in 24 hours.

The Syphilis Test is a simple blood screening that checks for antibodies indicating a current or past infection with the bacterium that causes syphilis. It measures specific immune markers to help you understand potential exposure, which can be important for sexual health monitoring.
