How does a private blood test booked online work?

A private blood test booked online as part of a health assessment package works in a similar way to blood tests booked through your GP. The only major difference is that you can book online private blood tests from the comfort and convenience of home.

1. Book private blood tests

The first step is to choose the health assessment package and the additional blood tests you need and book an appointment online at a time and date to suit you.

Before attending your blood test, you should ensure you fully follow any preparation instructions. This could include restrictions on eating, drinking, and taking medications before your test.

At Bluecrest Wellness, we provide full preparation instructions before your appointment to ensure you know exactly what you need to do and can arrive fully prepared for your private blood test. You should continue taking your usual medications before your appointment unless specifically advised to stop taking them.

3. Attend your appointment

On the day of your appointment, a trained health assessment specialist will take a blood sample from your arm and send it to a laboratory for analysis.

4. Get your results

At Bluecrest Wellness, we provide your results in an easy-to-read format without medical jargon. We also advise on any follow-up steps that should be taken. Many of our test results are available within just eight days of your appointment, but some tests can take longer to process at the laboratory.
