FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONs about blood test appointments
WHEN should my bloods be taken?
Some private blood tests must be taken at specific times of the day, usually the morning, to ensure the samples arrive at the appropriate lab in time.
Some tests must be taken at specific times: Glucose 9:30am, Cortisol 9:30am, Cholesterol 9:30am, Testosterone 9am-9:30am, Quantiferon test for TB by 12pm, Coagulation test 11am, ESR by 11am.
We also recommend that all hormone blood tests are done in the morning and that you are fasting for the 8 hours before.
All other private blood tests can be performed at any time of day.
If you are attending a private GP appointment and require blood tests these can usually be taken during your consultation. If there is not enough time during your appointment you will be asked to book a further blood test appointment.
WHERE are the blood samples processed?
We courier your samples to the laboratory immediately, with results back within 24-72 hours depending on the test. We process bloods across three main labs: Eurofins Biomnis in Dublin, The Doctors Laboratory, London and the Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast. Depending on the tests required and the time of your appointment we will decide which lab is best suited for carrying out these blood tests.
HOW do I receive my results?
We will share your results with you in a private secured email. Advice is always given by our doctor on what to do next.
What DISCOUNTS are available?
When tests are done as part of a profile or blood test bundle (a group of tests offered by the lab) they work out less expensive per test, in comparison to doing one blood-test on its own, and thus NO further discount is offered for bundles/profiles. If you find a better price for your blood tests, let us know and we will try and match that.
