GETTING A PRIVATE BLOOD TEST IN BRIGHTON & HOVE

Everything you need to know about the costs, walk-in clinic options and what to expect from your blood test.

Many people assume a blood test clinic only opens on weekdays. Our Hove clinic on Salisbury Road is open Monday to Friday and on Saturday mornings too. You can book online or walk in, no GP referral is needed, and results are usually back the same day your sample reaches our lab.

You're probably wondering what it costs, when to come in and what happens on the day. This page covers:

  • The £35 clinic charge and what the tests cost on top
  • Where we are, our weekday and Saturday hours, and how to walk in or book
  • The questions we are asked most often

No scare tactics here, just clear answers. If you already know which test you need, book your Hove appointment now.

WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE ONE DAY TESTS FOR BLOOD TESTS IN BRIGHTON & HOVE

This is home ground for us. Our parent company, Sussex Pathology Limited, is based in Brighton, and the Hove clinic runs on the same principle as the rest of our network: you can book any test the laboratory offers, at any time, without a GP referral. They are the same tests your GP would order, run in the same regulated diagnostics laboratory, and we aim to process most of them on the same day they reach the lab.

So with the tests themselves out of the way, what about the people? Our experienced medical professionals keep the visit comfortable and stress-free, and every biomarker explanation you receive is provided by our in-house UK GPs. If you are unsure what you need, give us a call and speak to a human, or email hello@onedaytests.com.

For anyone who likes to see the credentials, here they are.

  • Regulated - Our pathology laboratory and phlebotomy clinics are CQC registered. Sussex Pathology Limited holds certificate number 1-14470761199.
  • Quality checked - All of our tests undergo stringent external quality assessment routines, and our home test kit is MHRA/CE certified.
  • Trusted - We are trusted to do more than 100,000 tests and consultations every month.

BLOOD TESTS AVAILABLE AT OUR BRIGHTON & HOVE CLINIC

Our Hove clinic carries out a wide range of blood tests, with over 300 biomarkers to choose from. You can test a single biomarker, such as calcium or oestradiol, or order a comprehensive panel, some of which cover more than 50 biomarkers. You can also pick by symptom, or check one body function, such as liver or kidney function.

The ready-made panels people choose most are the Full Blood Count, panels for diabetes and cholesterol, and the always-popular Essential All Systems Blood Test. For the widest view in one visit, the Ultimate Performance Test is the most popular test in our range at 59 biomarkers, and the Ultimate Longevity Test is the largest at 74.

Having said that, how the sample is taken matters too. Our phlebotomist takes blood from a vein, or from a capillary if you prefer. A clinic visit is the right choice if you would like help getting the sample, your tests are recommended as venous only, or you need the results in a hurry. Here is a selection of other tests available at Hove, with biomarker counts and usual turnaround.

HOW IT WORKS

The process is simple. Here is how a visit to Hove goes.

  1. Choose a blood test - Pick a single biomarker, a comprehensive panel, or a test matched to a symptom or body function. The Quick Finder helps if you are unsure.
  2. Book, or walk in - Book an appointment at a time that suits you, or just walk in and you will get a same-day appointment. The clinic is open Monday to Friday, 8 am to 3 pm, and Saturday, 8 am to 1.30 pm. The £35 clinic charge applies to walk-ins and bookings alike, and it covers sample collection for all your tests on the day.
  3. Come to Salisbury Road - The clinic is at 39b Salisbury Road, Hove, BN3 3AA (view map), and it has disabled access. A professional venipuncture nurse takes your blood from a vein, or by finger-prick if you prefer or have difficult veins. Children aged 5 to 16 can be tested with a GP private referral letter (details here).
  4. Receive your results - Your results arrive by email as a secure, password-protected PDF, usually the same day your sample reaches our lab. You can print the file and take it to your GP or healthcare provider, and you get free access to the Health Dashboard, where every marker comes with commentary and you can see how your results sit against the reference ranges over time.

BOOKING YOUR BLOOD TEST IN BRIGHTON & HOVE

Open our Hove clinic page, pick a date and time, and you are booked. We ask for a mobile number so we can reach you if your appointment changes, never for marketing, and you can skip it if you prefer. If you would rather not plan ahead, walk in Monday to Friday between 8 am and 3 pm, or Saturday between 8 am and 1.30 pm.

The £35 appointment and clinic charge covers sample collection for all the tests you have on the day. Blood tests are not included in that charge, so add the ones you want to your basket separately. If you plan to test regularly, a subscription gives you a discount on future tests, with home kits or clinic appointments at your chosen frequency, no minimum number of tests, and the option to cancel, pause or restart at any time.

If you need a custom panel, or you are not sure which test you need, get in touch or email hello@onedaytests.com. We run our own laboratory and can build any panel you like.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about our clinic.

Where in Brighton and Hove can I get a full blood test?

At our Hove clinic, 39b Salisbury Road, BN3 3AA. You can book or walk in, Monday to Friday from 8 am to 3 pm and Saturday from 8 am to 1.30 pm. Popular choices for a full check include the Full Blood Count and the Essential All Systems Blood Test, and results are usually back the same day your sample reaches our lab.

What will I pay at the Hove clinic?

The £35 clinic charge plus the price of the tests you choose. The charge covers the phlebotomist taking your sample for all your tests on the day. Prices are shown on each test page. As a guide, here are three examples.

How do I book a blood test in Brighton and Hove?

Choose your tests on our website, then pick a date and time on the Hove clinic page. You do not need a referral, and you can book any test the laboratory offers. If you would rather not book, walk in during opening hours and you will get a same-day appointment. Children aged 5 to 16 need a GP private referral letter.

Can I test at home instead of visiting the clinic?

Yes. If a visit does not suit you, we offer a home sample collection kit, which is UK MHRA approved. However tests recommended as venous only need a sample taken from a vein at the clinic, and the clinic is the better choice if you need results in a hurry.
