FAQs
How does a blood test work?
Check in at our clinic for your selected appointment date and time. One of our clinicians will take you through a few basic checks, before taking a blood sample from a vein in your arm. The whole process shouldn't take more than 15 minutes.
Afterwards, we'll bring you out to our waiting area, and you are welcome to enjoy a tea or coffee before going about your day. We will send your sample for analysis.
Do I need to prepare for a blood test?
Drinking water is encouraged. Staying well hydrated helps make the blood collection easier. On the day of your appointment, wear a loose-fitting top so your arm is easily accessible.
After booking, you will receive a pre-appointment questionnaire via email - please complete it before attending your appointment.
What do the biomarkers indicate?
Haemoglobin: The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen; low levels can indicate anaemia or blood loss, while high levels may signal other health issues.
Red Blood Cell Count (RBC): Measures the number of red blood cells; low counts can suggest anaemia, fatigue, or nutrient deficiencies, while high counts may indicate dehydration or other conditions.
White Blood Cell Count (WBC): Measures the number of white blood cells; high levels can indicate infection or inflammation, while low levels may point to a weakened immune system.
