Private blood test near me — Fast, reliable testing for Ely patients

Introduction

Our GPs at Mayfield Clinic can request over 1,500 different blood tests — that breadth means we can target precise answers quickly. If you live in Ely and want a private blood test with fast access to a named GP, this guide explains how our service works, what tests you can get, and how to book. Short sentences. Clear steps. Practical detail.

Why choose a private blood test near Ely?

Private blood testing gives you speed, choice and continuity. For many patients in Ely, waiting weeks for NHS phlebotomy or for a specialist referral isn’t ideal. Our service offers rapid appointments and the chance to see the same GP consistently, so results are interpreted in the context of your health history.

Our clinicians can request more than 1,500 blood tests — from routine cholesterol and diabetes checks to specialised hormone and immunology panels.

Local note

Although we welcome patients from Ely, testing is delivered from our nearby Cambridge practice. Many Ely patients find the short trip across the A10 is worth the quicker access and continuity of care. After your test, you can enjoy a walk by the River Great Ouse or visit Ely Cathedral while you wait for a follow-up appointment.

What a blood test can tell you

Blood tests are analysed in accredited laboratories and can help you and your clinician to:

• check general health (full blood count, liver and kidney function)
• investigate symptoms and identify triggering conditions
• assess future risk (cholesterol, HbA1c for diabetes)
• monitor ongoing conditions and treatments

Which tests are available?

We offer a wide range of private blood tests, from basic health checks to specialised diagnostics. Examples include:

• Full blood panel (FBC, iron studies)
• Cholesterol and cardiovascular risk panels
• Diabetes screening and monitoring (HbA1c, glucose)
• Thyroid function tests (TSH, free T4/T3)
• Allergy-related blood tests and immunology

How to get a private blood test (Ely patients)

There are two main routes to blood testing at Mayfield Clinic:

1. Standard GP consultation — book an appointment if you need clinical advice about which tests are appropriate. The GP will advise, order the correct tests and arrange phlebotomy.
2. Blood testing consultation — book this if you already know which test you need. This appointment is for drawing blood only; clinicians will not have time for additional clinical advice during these slots.

Please note: the blood test charges are in addition to the consultation fee. All appointments should be booked online via the Book now button on our site. Members can also book by phone or WhatsApp.

Where you’ll be seen

Although this article targets patients searching in Ely, your appointment and blood draw are conducted at our Cambridge practice. You can find directions and detailed location information here: Mayfield Clinic — Cambridge. For local information and how we serve Ely residents, see: Mayfield Clinic — Ely (service information).

Turnaround times and results

Result times vary by test. Routine blood panels are often reported within 24–72 hours, while specialised panels may take longer. When the laboratory reports results to us we will send you an SMS with a secure link to view them and a short GP summary. If you need further interpretation, book a follow-up appointment with the same GP who ordered the test.

Home testing options

For some tests we can provide home fingerprick kits. These are suitable for specific monitoring and screening — details and availability are listed on our blood tests page: blood tests and home kits. If you choose a home kit, follow the instructions carefully and return the sample promptly so lab analysis is not delayed.

Costs, speed and what to expect

We aim to offer affordable private blood tests near Ely while maintaining high-quality laboratory analysis. You can calculate the exact cost of your chosen test on our blood tests page. If you need urgent testing, ask when booking about rapid or same-day options — we can often accommodate quicker appointments at our Cambridge clinic for Ely patients.
