    Blood Tests (Phlebotomy)​

    At Mayo Clinic Healthcare, we offer private blood tests in London, with comprehensive phlebotomy services. Our consultant-led team uses advanced diagnostics to evaluate your health, identify potential concerns, and tailor care to your individual needs.

    Blood testing is one of the most effective tools in modern medicine. Whether you have been advised to undergo testing by your GP or specialist, are monitoring an existing condition, or require further diagnostic investigations as part of your care, our team is focused on delivering accurate answers with clarity and efficiency. We also offer appointments at short notice where available.

    • Our private blood tests in London can measure a wide range of markers, including blood cells, organ function, hormones, and biochemical indicators. These results help clinicians assess how your body is functioning and identify potential abnormalities that may require further investigation.

      Blood testing is commonly used as both a screening tool and a diagnostic investigation. In many cases, it provides the first indication of an underlying condition and plays a central role in guiding further care.

    • A blood test can be used for a general health check or to support further investigation of symptoms identified during a clinical consultation. 

      You may benefit from booking a blood test appointment if you are experiencing:

      • Persistent fatigue or low energy
      • Unexplained weight loss or gain
      • Frequent or recurrent infections
      • Shortness of breath or dizziness
      • Changes in appetite or digestion
      • Palpitations or chest discomfort
      • Hormonal symptoms, such as irregular cycles or mood changes

      You may also be advised to undergo blood testing if you have a family history of certain medical conditions or risk factors that require monitoring. 

      These symptoms may be linked to a range of underlying conditions. A blood test helps identify possible causes and ensures appropriate follow-up. Early diagnosis allows for timely and effective management.

    • A blood test can support the diagnosis and monitoring of a wide range of conditions across multiple specialties.

      General health and screening:

      • Nutritional deficiencies, including vitamin imbalances
      • Infection or inflammation
      • Immune system abnormalities

      Our advanced screenings portfolio includes:

      • Multi-cancer early detection blood testing  
      • Pharmacogenomics - genetic profiling for medication optimisation
      • Preventative genetic screening - understanding your health risks before symptoms arise. 

      At Mayo Clinic Healthcare, all of our advanced blood screening is delivered within a clinically supported pathway:

      • Pre-test consultation (where appropriate)
      • Clear explanation of benefits and limitations
      • Results reviewed with a GP or specialist
      • Personalised follow-up recommendations

      Mayo Clinic Healthcare is also an access centre for select Mayo Clinic Laboratories testing in the United States on a case-by-case basis. Our team can advise when this may be appropriate as part of your diagnostic pathway. 

      Cardiovascular and metabolic conditions:

      • Elevated cholesterol and cardiovascular risk factors
      • Diabetes and blood glucose abnormalities
      • Kidney and liver function disorders

      Haematological conditions:

      • Diagnostic testing for haematology conditions
      • Anaemia
      • Blood cell abnormalities
      • Iron deficiency

      Hormonal conditions:

      • Thyroid disorders
      • Hormonal imbalances
      • Menopause

      Symptoms can overlap, so a blood test is essential in providing a confident starting point for accurate diagnosis, helping to determine whether further specialist input is required.

    • At Mayo Clinic Healthcare, every private blood test appointment is part of a coordinated diagnostic pathway. Your care begins with a consultation or referral review, where your clinician will assess your symptoms, medical history and the reason for testing. This ensures your blood test is tailored to your individual needs. 

      ​Common tests may include:

      • Full blood count (FBC): Evaluates the number of blood cells in your blood to test for blood-related diseases 
      • Blood glucose and HbA1c: Measures blood sugar levels to check for or manage diabetes 
      • Biochemistry tests: Assess kidney function, liver function, and electrolyte balance
      • Lipid profile: Measures cholesterol and cardiovascular risk
      • Thyroid-stimulating hormone: Assess hormone levels to check for thyroid-related diseases like hypothyroidism
      • Serology testing for immunisation status 

      Different patients require different tests, and you may be recommended several investigations as part of your assessment.

    • At Mayo Clinic Healthcare, your private blood test appointment is designed to be efficient, safe, and as comfortable as possible. Before your blood draw, our team of world-class healthcare professionals will explain the purpose of your tests and whether any preparation is required.

      Where blood testing has been recommended by a GP, specialist or clinician, Mayo Clinic Healthcare may be able to offer appointments at short notice, depending on availability. 

      On the day of your appointment with Mayo Clinic Healthcare:

      • Our trained clinical team will identify a suitable vein, usually in the arm
      • You may be asked to make a fist to help make the vein more visible
      • A small needle is used to collect the blood sample

      Minimal discomfort may be experienced, but many patients do not feel the collection at all. After the test, most people can return to their normal activities immediately.

      ​Our expert team ensures that every step of the process is clearly explained, helping you feel informed and at ease throughout your appointment.
