If you need a blood test quickly, you can organise one through a private GP. You don’t need a referral for aprivate blood test or even a medical reason - private blood tests are often undertaken by people who simply want to screen their health in order to pick up potential issues nice and early, for example diabetes or cholesterol issues.
The difference between getting private blood tests and NHS blood tests is that, by going privately, you’ll get quicker results, greater accessibility to a medical professional, and greater choice. Basically going private means you’re in greater control of your health.
Sometimes you don’t want to wait for an NHS appointment. It’s not easy to make an appointment in the first place, and for non-urgent enquiries, you could wait for two or three weeks to see a doctor. With a private GP, it’s very easy to make an appointment and that appointment could be on the same day, or the next day, or whenever it’s convenient for you. On top of that, private GPs send the blood samples to private laboratories, so you’ll get the results of your blood test back very quickly, in some cases, on the same day as your appointment.
We also have patients who simply want to take charge of their health. They’re not worried about anything in particular but would like a sort of MOT in the form of blood screening to check for things that may become an issue in the future. This isn’t something that’s generally offered by the NHS which means private blood tests are the only option.

Anyone can get a private blood test. You don’t need to be referred, or to be a registered patient with a private clinic. Just book an appointment, tell us what you want to be tested for and why, and we’ll do the rest.
Private blood tests are laboratory analyses measuring biomarkers, such as hormones, enzymes, proteins, and cells. We can organise a private blood test for any condition, but the most common conditions we test for are:
Cholesterol
Diabetes
Thyroid
STIs including chlamydia, gonorrhoea, HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis B
The cost of your private blood test will depend on what you’re being tested for, and whether it’s for a single condition or looking for multiple health markers in comprehensive blood testing. SameDayDoctor costs begin at £200 for a cholesterol and lipid profile consultation. The cost of your consultation is included in the testing costs published on our website:general health orsexual health issues.
If you’re based in London, you can organise private blood tests through one ofour three London clinics: Central London, City of London, Canary Wharf. All are open 6 days a week; our Central London clinic is also open on Sundays.
If you’re based in, or visiting Manchester, organise a blood test throughour Manchester city centre clinic. Open 6 days a week.
Private blood tests give you greater speed and more choice. With an NHS GP, you will have to wait for an appointment and wait longer for your blood test results than if you go private. You can book a private blood test at any clinic without a referral, and will have more appointment options. Private GP clinics often offer same-day appointments, making it more convenient as well as a quicker process from booking the appointment to receiving the results. SameDayDoctor offers private blood tests in London and Manchester.
We can test for a wide range of health issues including: anaemia, thyroid function, hormone and fertility, diabetes, liver and kidney problems, cholesterol, cardiovascular issues, sexual health infections.
We also offer health screening that will pick up issues at an early stage, or give you the reassurance that nothing is wrong.
Private GP clinics like SameDayDoctor have good relationships with private laboratories which means tests can be turned around more quickly than the NHS. If you have a blood test in the morning, there is a possibility you’ll get the results that afternoon. However, the speed depends on the type of test you’re getting and some tests require more time in the lab before you get a meaningful result. Your GP will give you an idea of when to expect results during the consultation, but on the whole, you should get them within 1-3 days.
This depends on what you would like to be screened for. For up to date pricing on general blood tests, see ourprivate blood test page; for pricing details about sexual health testing, see ourSTD tests page.
