blood testing: FAQ
How long do results take?

Do I need to fast before my blood test?
Some tests require fasting (usually 10-12 hours), particularly:
- Cholesterol and lipid profiles
- Glucose tolerance tests
- Comprehensive metabolic panels
We’ll inform you of any fasting requirements when booking your appointment.
How is the blood sample taken?
Our trained pharmacy professionals collect samples using a simple venous blood draw from your arm. The process takes just a few minutes and is performed in a clean, professional environment.
What if my results are abnormal?
Abnormal results don’t always indicate serious health issues. Our pharmacists will:
- Explain your results in simple terms
- Discuss potential causes
- Recommend follow-up actions
- Suggest GP referral when appropriate
- Offer repeat testing if needed
Are the results confidential?
Absolutely. All test results are strictly confidential and only shared with you. Results are delivered through secure, encrypted communication methods. You control who else sees your health information.
Can I use blood tests to monitor ongoing treatment?
Yes, many of our patients use regular testing to monitor:
- Diabetes management (HbA1c)
- Cholesterol treatment effectiveness
- Hormone replacement therapy
- Weight management progress
- Medication effects and side effects
Do you accept insurance or NHS funding?
These are private tests, so payment is required at the time of service. However, many health insurance policies cover private blood testing – check with your provider for coverage details.
