01

Blood tests with a doctor, not just a result

Direct-to-consumer test kits return numbers, but numbers without context can cause unnecessary worry or false reassurance. At PrivaDr a doctor first listens to your symptoms, history and goals, then recommends only the tests that are clinically useful. When results arrive, the same doctor explains what they mean and what, if anything, should happen next.

02

Common private blood tests we arrange

Depending on your needs, your doctor may recommend:

  • Full blood count, kidney and liver function
  • Cholesterol, HbA1c and diabetes screening
  • Thyroid function and vitamin D, B12, folate and iron studies
  • Hormone profiles, including testosterone assessment relevant to TRT
  • Female hormone and menopause-related tests
  • Monitoring bloods for ongoing treatment such as medical weight management

03

Comprehensive health check panels

If you want a broad baseline rather than a single test, our VitalMan and VitalWoman health checks combine an extensive blood panel with consultation, physical measurements and a written report. Packages start at £395 and progress through higher tiers with more detailed investigations.

Your care journey

How it works

Book a same-day GP appointment in clinic or by video. The doctor agrees a test plan with you and provides a written quote for laboratory fees. Samples are taken at an appropriate partner location, and results are usually returned within a few working days depending on the test. Your doctor then reviews them with you and can issue a prescription, referral or follow-up plan.

Some tests require fasting or a specific time of day. Your doctor will tell you how to prepare so your results are accurate.

Planning blood tests in London and Harley Street

Your test plan can begin with a consultation at 8 Harley Street, London W1G 9PF, or by video when suitable. The consultation address and sample collection location may differ. Confirm both before travelling, especially if you are combining testing with work or a short London visit.

Targeted blood tests or a broader health check?

A targeted test addresses a particular symptom or monitoring question and can avoid the cost of a broad panel. Its limitation is scope: it cannot check every possible cause. A broader assessment may suit different goals, but should still be clinically justified.

A wider health check can combine several relevant measurements and a clinical discussion, but more tests are not automatically more useful. Results outside a reference range do not always mean disease, and normal results cannot exclude every condition. Choose the scope after discussing your symptoms, goals and costs.

An NHS assessment may also be appropriate, particularly where your usual GP is already investigating the problem. Bringing existing results can help avoid unnecessary repetition. Private testing does not guarantee faster specialist treatment or replace assessment of persistent symptoms.

Your patient journey: from booking to results review

  1. Discuss the reason for testing

    Book a consultation and bring your history, medicines and previous reports. The doctor identifies what question each proposed test is intended to answer.

  2. Confirm costs and preparation

    Agree laboratory fees, collection arrangements and an expected results timeframe. Check whether the results discussion needs a separate appointment and fee.

  3. Attend sample collection

    Follow the preparation instructions and tell the person taking the sample if you have previously felt faint during a blood test.

  4. Review the findings and follow up

    Discuss the results in context. Depending on the findings, the next step may be reassurance, repeat testing, treatment or referral; no particular outcome is guaranteed.
