At Bodyvie we offer a comprehensive range of bloods tests. Processed via The Doctors Laboratory, a world leading diagnostics laboratory, we are able to offer quick turn around time on blood results (time varies according to test carried out) with many being available within 4 hours.
Blood tests, of which there is an enormous range, have a wide variety of uses and are one of the most common types of medical test. Blood tests can be used:-
- To check your general state of health
- To check the condition of your vital organs
- To screen for certain genetic conditions
- To check if you have any illness and/or infection
Blood tests at Bodyvie are carried out by our doctors and phlebotomist (specialising in blood samples).
There are many reasons why patients opt to see us for private blood tests, including speedier-testing and for tests which are not easily available on the NHS.
The process
Our Doctors will tell you whether there are any specific instructions to follow prior to the test i.e. fasting or stopping the medication.
Instructions must be followed as they could affect the results of any blood test.
Bruises, post-testing are possible at the injection site however are harmless and in most cases fade within 24 hours.
We appreciate that having blood taken isn’t an experience that most people look forward to. However, the process is simple, quick and almost pain-free.
The results
Your blood will be sent to the laboratory, tested, examined and reported on. Once we receive the results we will then be available to pass them on to you. Processing time of results varies on the blood test.
If your Doctor has any concerns over your results, you will be contacted immediately to come to the clinic to allow your Doctor to go through them with you in person.
You might have been advised of the blood tests you require. Alternatively, you might simply be feeling unwell and require a Private GP appointment for full investigation and diagnostics, in which case we will determine what test(s) are required.
Either way, our Private GP appointments ensure that you are in safe and professional medical hands.
