In the UK, it often feels like there’s “something going around” year-round. But if you’re catching every cold, flu, or infection, your immune system could be trying to tell you something. Chronic infections are not just inconvenient—they might be a sign of a deeper health issue.
An FBC is a straightforward blood test that measures white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. White cells are especially crucial for fighting infections; abnormal levels can point to immunodeficiency or ongoing infection.
With the Mayfield Clinic At-Home Full Blood Count (FBC) Kit, you can check these levels conveniently in the comfort of your home. Our kit uses a self-collected finger-prick sample, processed by trusted UK lab TDL, with results typically in just one day.
Still feeling ill regularly? A blood test could help uncover the cause—and offer clarity.
If fevers, infections, or fatigue are ongoing, the NHS recommends seeing your GP. Mayfield Clinic allows you to purchase a home FBC kit or book a clinic test at one of our UK locations for a professional consultation.
Stop guessing about your health. Order your at-home FBC kit or book your private GP visit with Mayfield Clinic now.
While many infections resolve quickly, recurring sore throats, fevers, or illnesses could signal a low or abnormal white blood cell count. This is best revealed through a blood test.
You should wash your hands regularly, get plenty of sleep, maintain a balanced diet, and manage stress. But if you’re frequently ill, checking your blood health may be key.
Yes, a Full Blood Count can detect changes in the numbers or types of white blood cells, which are your body’s main defence against infection.
Check key blood health markers at home with our easy, finger-prick Full Blood Count kit.
