Anaemia Blood Test

You should choose the test that is right for your needs, symptoms and health concerns. Details of the health biomarkers included in each test can be found on the test pages on our website. If you want an all-round health test, we recommend the Well Woman or Well Man tests which provide the widest range of biomarkers and the best value to check numerous areas of your health.

We offer a range of test solutions to suit your needs.

Some of our tests require a tiny blood sample, and so can be taken at home using a finger-prick lancet or stool sample. These samples can then be either processed using the equipment within the kit, or sent to the laboratory.

Other tests require a larger volume of blood to check for more biomarkers. These need to be obtained via a blood sample taken from your vein by a professional, trained clinician, in one of our UK-wide clinic locations. The samples are then sent to a laboratory for thorough testing.

If your sample must be tested at the laboratory, Goodbody will provide a pre-paid return address envelope so you can post your sample to our partnered laboratory on the same day the test is completed.

Results turnaround differs by test and starts when sample is received at the laboratory. For example, General Wellness blood tests are 3-5 working days unless otherwise stated. Please refer to the product information page for turnaround times on the specific test.

If your order requires a kit to be dispatched. We dispatch test kits every day from Monday to Friday, excluding Bank Holidays. Standard delivery is 2-3 working days. If you order before 3pm Monday-Thursday and select Express Delivery, we will send your kit out on the same afternoon, for delivery to you on the next working day. Any orders placed over the weekend or on Bank Holidays will be processed on the next working day.

Our tests are medically-approved and are as accurate as tests you would take in a healthcare facility. Our tests are analysed in labs which are UKAS accredited, and we are registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to maintain the best possible standards.

Yes – please add their details when making your booking, and then your details at the checkout if you need to. Please be aware that our tests are only for customers aged 18 or over.

Many of our clinics hold a stock of blood testing supplies ready for your appointment. We also work with other locations who are qualified to take blood but do not hold blood testing supplies for us. For appointments at those locations, we will send you a complete kit to take to your appointment, which the clinician will use to take a sample of blood from your arm for testing.

We believe it’s most effective to monitor your health regularly over time. So we recommend regular testing depending on the biomarker.
