Full Blood Count (FBC)

The Full Blood Count is a core screening test that measures red cells, white cells, and platelets. It provides valuable insight into anaemia, infection, and immune health. Our on-site lab delivers rapid results, allowing your consultant to interpret and act on findings without delay.

Iron, B12, and Folate Studies

These essential nutrient tests help identify the root cause of anaemia and fatigue. Measuring your iron stores and vitamin levels enables our consultants to pinpoint deficiencies and recommend targeted treatments such as supplements, injections, or diet changes.

Coagulation and Clotting Profiles

This test assesses how well your blood clots and identifies conditions that may cause excessive bleeding or clot formation. It’s particularly important for patients with unexplained bruising, DVT, or those taking anticoagulants like warfarin or DOACs.

Genetic Testing for Inherited Blood Disorders

Inherited conditions such as sickle cell disease, thalassaemia, or genetic clotting disorders can be identified through genetic testing. We provide counselling, family screening, and ongoing management for patients with hereditary risks.

What does a haematologist do?

A haematologist is a specialist doctor who diagnoses and treats conditions related to the blood, bone marrow, and immune system. This includes anaemia, clotting problems, blood cancers, and unexplained abnormalities in blood counts.

Do I need a referral to see a haematologist?

No, you can book an appointment directly with one of our consultant haematologists. We also accept GP or specialist referrals for second opinions or further investigations.

Can I have blood tests done on the same day?

Yes. Most diagnostic blood tests, including full blood count, iron studies, and coagulation profiles, can be performed during your consultation, with results available within 24–48 hours.

What symptoms might mean I should see a haematologist?

You may benefit from a haematology consultation if you have persistent fatigue, unexplained bruising, bleeding, dizziness, or frequent infections. Our consultants will assess your symptoms and arrange the necessary tests to identify the cause.

Do you treat anaemia and iron deficiency?

Yes. Anaemia is one of the most common conditions we diagnose and treat. We offer same-day testing and a full range of treatment options, including iron infusions, vitamin B12 injections, and dietary guidance.

Are tests covered by private medical insurance?

Yes. Most haematology consultations and tests are recognised by all major UK health insurers. Our administration team can help you check cover and arrange pre-authorisation where necessary.
