Blood Tests In The UK

[zes]

To be honest I don't spend a lot of money anyway so I don't mind spending a bit more to improve my health. I already got my order placed with them a few minutes ago haha but thanks for the suggestion. I will probably get blood tests done every year or 6 months or so to see how I am progressing. I'm fairly new to peating so this is a good time to see where I need improve. I will consider using the company you suggested when I plan on getting blood tests done in the future!

Medichecks are good, fast and efficient but tend be quite expensive. The other company I have used is:

Get a Private Blood Test Direct From The Laboratory

Worth having a look at comparable blood tests on their compared to Medichecks to save yourself a bit of money. Usually takes a little bit longer however.

Medichecks are cheaper than the one you posted

The medichecks blood work I'm going for costs around £120. I am going in tomorrow to one of their labs to get it done. I will let you know what my experience is/was with them once everything is finalised.

Which blood tests were you interested in? Medichecks vitamin D test was 39 versus 27 on blood tests direct for example. Probably best to shop around and pick and choose from each of them to get the best value.

How did everyone get on with Medichecks? I'm tempted to order their Thyroid Check UltraVit Blood Test.
Thanks!

I did medichecks finger prick test. I did two lots. They advised high iron and high progesterone.
So I went to the GP for a full blood test each time as the medichecks doctor advised this. However the test results were completely different. I'm not doing a finger prick test again.

Very interesting to know that, thank you. I think I'll opt for there "get a nurse to take your blood" option. I'm assuming no one has also had worries via this method? Did you eventually get your high iron and high progesterone tested with additional tests via your doctor? What did you end up doing? Thanks :)

Yes I think I'd use medichecks again but with nurse doing it. It turned out I had neither high iron or high progesterone. I'm working with East West Healing.

Thanks for following up. That’s amazing I’ve been looking at working with them myself but realised they are in the US. Are you getting on well with them?

I’ve used Medichecks a few times now, they are pretty good! For more extensive blood work though I just go to private clinics

I'm in the UK. We find a time to connect without difficulty. They live in Boise Idaho.
I like Jeanne. I'm a difficult client I think unfortunately - so many issues.....I would recommend them though. I am learning a lot.
If someone could get rid of my hot flushes I'd pay them a very large sum of money!

Why blood testing companies need effective regulation

Dozens of private sector companies are competing to offer blood tests to patients for a variety of purposes—particularly screening. As the cost of consumer testing falls, we highlight several areas of concern. In the UK, regulation prevents prescription only medications being advertised...

I found full thyroid panel home test with rt3 for 160£, which is decent, just the rt3 is like 90£ which is cheaper than all the sites i know of.
