GETTING A PRIVATE BLOOD TEST IN BRISTOL

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

Many people assume fertility or hormone testing means a referral to a specialist clinic. At our Bristol clinic in Clifton you can choose tests by body function, fertility and kidney health included, and have the sample taken on the day. You can book in advance or use the walk-in service, no GP referral is needed, and most results are ready the same day or the next.

You're probably wondering what it costs, how to find the entrance and where to park. This page covers:

  • The £35 clinic charge and what the tests cost on top
  • Where we are on Regent Street, how to get in, where to park and when we are open
  • The questions we are asked most often

If you already know which test you need, book your Bristol appointment now.

BLOOD TESTS AVAILABLE AT OUR BRISTOL CLINIC

Our Bristol clinic offers a wide variety of blood tests, from routine health checks to specialised diagnostics. You can test for specific biomarkers or choose a comprehensive panel covering over 50 biomarkers. You can also pick tests based on symptoms, or assess a specific body function, such as fertility or kidney health.

The most popular test in our range is the Ultimate Performance Test, a blood screen covering 59 biomarkers including micronutrients and vitamins, thyroid, hormones, fertility, organ function and cholesterol. The largest is the Ultimate Longevity Test at 74. For a basic MOT, the Essential All Systems Blood Test covers a full blood count, kidney and liver function, electrolytes and CRP.

So with the full-body panels covered, what about fertility and kidney health? Our experienced phlebotomists collect your blood by venipuncture or capillary sampling, depending on your preference, and the clinic is the right choice if your test requires venous sampling, you want assistance with the sample, or you need faster results. Here is a selection of the fertility, hormone and kidney tests available at Bristol, with biomarker counts and usual turnaround.

HOW IT WORKS

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

  1. Choose a blood test - Pick specific biomarkers or a comprehensive panel, or choose by symptom or body function. The Quick Finder helps if you are unsure.
  2. Book, or walk in - Book a time in advance, or use the walk-in service. The clinic is open Monday to Friday, 7.45 am to 3.30 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. Find us in Clifton - The clinic is at 27a Regent Street, Clifton, Bristol, BS8 4HR (view map), and you enter through the Bodyset entrance. Disabled access is available with advance notice. There is metered street parking on the surrounding roads, including Clifton Bridge (BS8 4DH) and Princess Victoria Street (BS8 4DD), and the Charles Place car park (BS8 4SD). A trained phlebotomist takes your blood on the day of your visit, from a vein or by finger-prick if you have difficult veins or prefer a less invasive option. 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, either the same day your sample is processed or by the following day. Certain tests take a bit longer, so contact us first if you need results urgently. Your results also appear on the Health Dashboard, where you can review your data, track changes in your biomarkers and spot trends over time.

BOOKING YOUR BLOOD TEST IN BRISTOL

Open our Bristol clinic page, pick a date and time, and you are booked. Adding a mobile number is optional, and we only use it if your appointment changes, never for marketing. If you would rather not plan ahead, use the walk-in service Monday to Friday between 7.45 am and 3.30 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, our subscription service gives you discounted rates on future tests and ongoing tracking through the Health Dashboard, with no minimum test requirement and a choice of home kits or clinic appointments.

If you need a customised panel, or guidance on which tests to choose, contact us here or email [email protected]. Our lab can design a panel that fits your requirements.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

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

How much is a private blood test at Bristol?

You pay 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.

Where in Bristol is the clinic?

At 27a Regent Street, Clifton, Bristol, BS8 4HR, reached through the Bodyset entrance. We are open Monday to Friday from 7.45 am to 3.30 pm, and disabled access is available with advance notice. There is metered street parking on Clifton Bridge (BS8 4DH) and Princess Victoria Street (BS8 4DD), and a car park at Charles Place (BS8 4SD). You can view the clinic on the map before you set off.

Can I get a private blood test in Bristol without a referral?

Yes. No GP referral is needed, and the tests are the same ones your GP orders. Choose the tests you want on our website, then book a time or use the walk-in service, and a trained phlebotomist takes your sample on the day of your visit. 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 home sample collection kits, which are UK MHRA approved. However tests that require venous sampling need a visit to the clinic, and the clinic is the better choice if you need faster results.
