You can schedule an appointment or use the walk-in service, and results are available the same day or the next.

HOW IT WORKS

How It Works

Planning ahead is simple. Here is how a visit to Cheltenham goes.

  1. Pick your blood test - Choose an individual biomarker or a comprehensive profile, or pick by symptom or body function. The Quick Finder helps if you are unsure.
  2. Book, or walk in - Schedule a slot online, or use the walk-in service at your convenience. The clinic is open five days a week, Monday to Friday, 8.15 am to 2.30 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 St Margaret's Road - The clinic is at 1 St Margarets Terrace, St Margaret's Road, Cheltenham, GL50 4DT (view map). Please note there are steps to enter the building, so the clinic may not be suitable for people with walking disabilities. The nearest car parks are Portland Street (GL52 2NX), The Brewery Quarter (GL50 4EJ) and the High Street car park on Swindon Road (GL50 3HQ). A skilled phlebotomist collects your sample by venipuncture, or by finger-prick if you 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, typically the same day or the next day after your sample reaches our lab. If you subscribe, you also get automatic and unlimited access to the Health Dashboard, where you can track and monitor your results over time.

BOOKING YOUR BLOOD TEST IN CHELTENHAM

Open our Cheltenham 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 8.15 am and 2.30 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 reduced rates on future tests and continuous tracking through the Health Dashboard, with flexible options and no minimum requirement.

If you want a custom panel, or you have a question before booking, contact us here or email [email protected]. We can help you build a panel tailored to your needs.
