Blood tests

Start with the right test: private blood testing for Shefford patients

Blood markers can change months before you feel any different. Quick testing and expert interpretation give you the chance to act early. At Mayfield Clinic we offer comprehensive private blood testing for Shefford residents, combining fast access to doctors with continuity of care from a named GP. We arrange over 1,500 different blood tests — from a routine full blood panel to specialised hormone and autoimmune screens — and we explain what every result means for you.

How our private blood testing works for people in Shefford

Book online via the Book now button. Members may book by phone or WhatsApp. Once booked, your sample is taken at our practice in Hitchin (we serve Shefford from Hitchin). Tests are chosen by your GP based on symptoms, screening needs or preventive checks. Typical turnaround is days for most tests, and complex panels may take a little longer. We always review results with you — usually the same named GP who ordered the tests — so you get a clear plan, not just numbers.

Which tests can we arrange?

Our private blood analysis includes: full blood panel (FBC), liver and kidney function, lipid profile, detailed thyroid workup, vitamin and mineral status (including vitamin D and B12), inflammatory markers, diabetes monitoring (HbA1c), hormone assays, infection and autoimmune screens, and advanced cardiac risk markers. If you need specialised disease screening or rare tests, we can arrange those too. These services are ideal if you want comprehensive blood testing in Shefford with faster private blood test results than routine pathways.

What to expect on the day

Arrive at our Hitchin clinic on time. Some tests require fasting — we’ll tell you exactly what to do when you book. The blood draw is performed by an experienced phlebotomist in a calm setting. Results are securely uploaded and your GP will either call, message or arrange a follow-up appointment to discuss findings. If urgent abnormalities appear, we contact you the same day and outline next steps.

"Private testing gives you choice: what gets tested, when it’s tested and a named GP who follows your results through."

Why choose private over standard NHS testing?

Private testing offers faster access, greater choice of specialised assays and a collaborative review with a GP who explains clinical implications in plain terms. For Shefford patients who want swift private blood test results, targeted advanced blood testing private options and the reassurance of ongoing care with the same doctor, our pathway is designed around convenience and clarity.

Continuity of care and fast access

Two things matter most to our patients from Shefford: quick appointments and seeing the same GP over time. At Mayfield Clinic we prioritise both. You’ll get rapid access to a GP who can order and interpret a complete blood screening, and follow-up reviews ensure results translate into practical health actions — treatment changes, lifestyle advice or targeted referrals where needed.

Local note for Shefford patients

Shefford sits between Biggleswade and Hitchin in Central Bedfordshire, so travel to our Hitchin clinic is straightforward. Many local patients choose Mayfield Clinic because our faster private blood analysis and named-GP approach removes the waiting and uncertainty they experienced elsewhere.
