Blood, Urine, Stool & Swab Testing in Dorchester

In our Poundbury clinic in Dorchester we can quickly and easily carry out any blood test(s) you require.

We have access to hundreds of blood tests using one of the largest and leading medical laboratories in the UK. You can simply book in for a blood test without the need to see a GP first.

Blood Tests

If you have your own blood test kit, you can straightforwardly arrange an appointment with us for just a blood draw. Alternatively, if you would like us to arrange the blood tests using our laboratory, you can simply inform us of what you require and we will swiftly arrange to take your blood and provide you with the results.

If you are unsure which blood tests you require, then please contact us and we can arrange a 30-minute GP consultation which will allow time for blood tests to be taken during the appointment.

Please see the two blood testing options below. For children under 14, we have access to a paediatric phlebotomy service. Please contact us for more information.

Option 1 – Patient Requested Blood Tests using our laboratory

£40 blood draw (phlebotomy) appointment fee plus the laboratory cost of the individual blood test(s). If centrifuging of the blood is required (the majority do not need this) then phlebotomy fee is £70.

If you know which blood test(s) you require, you can simply provide us with the name of the test(s) and we will confirm the laboratory fee and book you a phlebotomy appointment at our clinic. There is no doctor’s consultation and you do not need to be a registered patient or have seen one of our doctors beforehand.

Important – please read first

A doctor will not be involved in the process, so we will not be able to advise you what time the test should be taken or whether you should fast first.

In addition to the £40 fee for taking the blood, each blood test is priced individually depending on the laboratory cost for analysis. When the results are sent to us, we directly email them to you. A doctor will not see the results or be able to comment on them. The test result document will show you the exact figure per test and where it falls within the normal limits/parameters.

If you would like a doctor’s advice on any aspect of the blood test, either before or after, then you can book a GP consultation with us (face to face or by phone).

We use a private laboratory in London to carry out all of our blood testing. All the samples we collect are couriered directly to the laboratory every evening. Most results are available the next day, but some tests have a longer analysis time.

Option 2 – A blood draw only. Bringing own blood test kit to appointment

£40 phlebotomy fee. This is for patients who have their own testing kit and do not need the use of our laboratory. If centrifuging of the blood is required (the majority do not need this) then phlebotomy fee is £70.

If you are have arranged blood tests through another company, you can bring the blood test kit they provide with you and have the blood draw (phlebotomy) appointment at our clinic. You will then take your completed blood kit with you ready to send off.

Important – please read first

Please ensure that you open your blood kit before you book an appointment with us as normally there are special instructions to follow for the tests. Some blood test kits require you to bring a frozen block for the return postage and some tests can only be carried out in the morning or on certain days of the week.

You will be responsible for sending the blood kit off to its destination and they will provide you with the results. However, if you require any advice regarding the results, we can arrange an appointment with a GP. A 20-minute GP appointment is priced at £93.
