What is a blood test?

The Vitalscan Blood Test is a comprehensive health check that covers key areas like liver and kidney function, cholesterol, inflammation, and thyroid health.

Why choose a private blood test?

Choosing a private blood test gives you faster access to health information, without the need for a GP referral or long waiting times.

At Vital Scan, private blood testing is designed for patients who want clarity, convenience, and control. Appointments are available quickly, tests are carried out by trained professionals, and results are delivered in a clear, easy-to-understand format.

Private blood tests are commonly used to:

  • Investigate symptoms without delay
  • Monitor ongoing health concerns
  • Gain reassurance through proactive health checks
  • Access a private full blood test when broader insight is needed

Your results can be shared with your GP or specialist, supporting informed conversations and next steps where appropriate.

Private vs NHS Blood Tests

Both NHS and private blood testing use the same accredited laboratories and clinical standards. The key difference is access and convenience.  Private testing doesn’t replace NHS care. Your results can be shared with your GP to support ongoing treatment or provide additional information for medical decisions.

Private Blood Tests

Private blood tests offer immediate access without referral. You can book directly, choose your appointment time, and receive results within days. This route suits people who want faster answers, prefer direct control over their health monitoring, or need testing that isn’t available through NHS routine services.

NHS Blood Tests

NHS blood tests are free at point of use but require a GP referral and appointment. Waiting times vary depending on demand and clinical priority. Results are typically reviewed by your GP, who will contact you if action is needed.

Private full blood tests – what’s included?

A private full blood test is a comprehensive health panel that assesses multiple body systems in a single appointment. Rather than testing one specific marker, full blood tests examine your overall health by measuring key indicators across different organs and functions.

Depending on the panel selected, a full blood test typically includes markers for:

  • General health and blood count – Red and white blood cells, haemoglobin, platelets
  • Liver function – ALT, AST, GGT, bilirubin, albumin
  • Kidney function – Creatinine, urea, eGFR, electrolytes
  • Cholesterol and heart health – Total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides
  • Thyroid function – TSH, T3, T4 (where applicable)
  • Inflammation markers – CRP or other indicators
  • Nutritional status – Iron, vitamin D, B12, folate (depending on panel)

Private full blood tests are commonly chosen for routine health monitoring, investigating persistent symptoms like fatigue or unexplained weight changes, or establishing a health baseline before starting new treatments. Targeted panels are also available if you need to monitor a specific condition or concern.

At Vitalscan, all full blood test results include clear explanations of each marker, helping you understand what the numbers mean for your health. Results can be shared with your GP or specialist to support ongoing care.
