What happens
Before, during, after.
A nurse-led phlebotomy room beside reception, open 7:30 to 11:00 without an appointment and by appointment all day. Samples go to the lab twice daily; the common panels come back the same evening.
How it works
- Bring a form from any doctor, or choose a panel with our nurse
- Results reviewed by a GP before they reach your portal
- Anything abnormal: we phone you, we do not leave it in the portal
- Fasting tests before 10:00; water is fine
We also draw bloods for NHS forms (£25 draw fee, no test charge) and for other private consultants.
Right for
- A form from your NHS or private doctor
- A check on cholesterol, thyroid, iron or vitamin D
- Monitoring a medicine
- Corporate schemes

Questions patients ask
Asked before booking.
Which insurers do you work with?
Bupa, AXA Health, Aviva, Vitality, WPA, Cigna, Healix and Freedom. GP appointments are usually not covered by insurance; consultant departments (dermatology, paediatrics, gynaecology, psychiatry), physiotherapy and diagnostics usually are, with a GP referral, which we write the same morning. Tom checks your pre-authorisation before you are seen.
How do I get my results?
Through your portal, once a clinician has reviewed them. Most blood results are there within 24 hours, ultrasound reports within one working day, smears in 10 working days, histology in 10 working days. Anything abnormal is phoned by the clinician; we never leave a worrying result to be found online.
Can I really be seen today?
Most days, yes. Ring or book online before 10:00 on a weekday and a GP sees you that day; last year 92% of same-day requests were. Two dental emergency slots are kept every morning. Sundays 9:00 to 13:00 are urgent GP only.
What does the price include?
Everything written at the appointment: private prescriptions (medicines at cost), sick notes, fit-to-fly letters, referral letters and the summary in your portal. Tests are priced separately and told to you before they are done.
Where do I park?
Each entrance has its own car park: Station Approach (24 spaces, four blue-badge) for GP and diagnostics, Mill Lane (10, pram-friendly) for children and women's health, and the rear yard on Tanner Street (8) for physio and dental. Two hours free with a code from reception.
