Blood tests

26/08/2026 by Dr Farhabanu Manga

Blood tests answer questions. Whether you want reassurance about your general health, an explanation for symptoms, or monitoring for a known condition, private testing at our Hitchin clinic gives you fast access to over 1,500 laboratory tests, with a GP to make sense of the results.

Popular reasons Hitchin patients book blood tests

How it works

If you know what you need, book a focused blood testing appointment. If you are not sure, start with a GP consultation so the right tests are chosen; you avoid paying for tests that will not answer your question. Samples are taken at our Hitchin clinic, results typically arrive within 24-72 hours by secure link, and every result comes with a GP summary explaining what it means and what, if anything, to do next.

That last part matters. A number on its own is not an answer. A GP who can interpret it, and who follows up if something needs attention, is what turns a blood test into useful medicine.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly do private blood test results come back in Hitchin?

Most results arrive within 24-72 hours. You receive them by SMS with a secure link, together with a GP summary explaining what they mean.

Do I need to fast before my blood test?

It depends on the test. Some cholesterol and glucose tests are best fasted, and we'll confirm any preparation needed when you book your Hitchin appointment.

Can I get a blood test without seeing a GP first?

Yes. If you already know which tests you need, book a focused blood testing appointment. If you're unsure, a GP consultation first ensures the right tests are chosen.
