Private GP Blood Tests in St Ives | Fast, Private & Home Kits

Private GP Blood Testing Services for St Ives patients

Over 1,500 different blood tests are available through Mayfield Clinic — a breadth of testing most high-street practices can’t match. If you live in St Ives and want fast, private access to reliable blood testing, this guide explains how our service works, what to expect, and how to book. Short walk or short train ride from St Ives, we see patients at our Cambridge clinic and provide continuity of care with the same named doctor when you prefer it.

Why choose a private GP blood test?

Private testing gives speed and choice. You can see a GP quickly, have the blood taken the same day in many cases, and get a clear GP summary with your results sent securely by SMS. Many people in St Ives choose private tests when they need results quickly, want tests that are not routinely available on the NHS, or prefer continuity with a named GP.

What Mayfield Clinic offers

From basic panels to specialist assays, Mayfield Clinic provides access to over 1,500 blood tests. You can:

• Have blood taken during a GP consultation, or book a dedicated blood testing appointment if you already know which tests you need.
• Order selected home blood testing kits available across the UK.
• Receive results securely by SMS, plus a written GP summary explaining what your results mean and the next steps.

If you’re searching for a "private blood test near me" in the St Ives area, these are the ones most frequently requested.

How the process works

Book online using the Book now button on our site. Members can book directly by phone or via WhatsApp. Once booked:

• If you choose a GP consultation, the clinician can assess symptoms, request the most appropriate tests, and take the blood sample that day where possible.
• If you already know which test you need, book a blood testing consultation to have only the blood draw.
• For eligible tests, order a home blood testing kit to take a sample at home and post it back — convenient if you live in St Ives and prefer not to travel.

Results are delivered securely to your phone by SMS together with a clear GP summary — fast, private, and designed to reduce unnecessary follow-up appointments.

Preparing for your blood test

Preparation depends on the test. Some require fasting; others don’t. When you book online, the clinic will tell you if fasting, medication adjustments or other preparation is needed. Arrive hydrated and wear clothing that allows easy access to the arm for venepuncture.

Results and follow-up

Most routine blood results are returned within 24–72 hours, though specialised tests can take longer. Alongside the results, your named GP will provide a short summary and next steps. If a follow-up consultation is needed, you can book with the same doctor to ensure continuity of care.
