Private Blood Tests UK
Doing a private blood test is the easiest means of assessing your health and wellbeing without visiting a doctor. Harley Medic Global’s private blood test range can help identify whether you are suffering from a variety of ailments, including cancer, diabetes, and STIs. Doing a blood test at home is a straightforward way of giving yourself peace of mind whenever you detect that you may have caught a disease or infection.
In the post-Covid-19 world, people have an aversion towards visiting their GP in person. Private blood tests are the best means of forgoing hospital visits altogether, as they allow you to test yourself, send off the samples, and receive your results, all from the comfort of your home.
Harley Medic Global’s at-home blood tests provide results that are as accurate as in-person blood tests in London. Stop searching for ‘private blood tests near me’ and start ordering in some at-home blood tests to save yourself a lot of hassle.
This article will detail the benefits of taking private blood tests, how to administer them, and how to receive results.
Why private blood tests are important?
At Harley Medic Global we believe that people should take their health bank into their own hands. In the same way, we try to understand our surroundings, friends, and emotions, it is equally as important to understand the biological makeup of our bodies. By testing our nutrient levels, hormones and danger markers, we can take back control of our health by knowing what is really going on inside our bodies.
Do you ever feel tired and you are not sure why?
Do you struggle to sleep at night?
Does your mood change rapidly from one minute to the next?
In most cases these are all symptoms of your body trying to tell you something, maybe your hormones are not in line, potentially you are lacking a certain micro-nutrient or you may even be suffering from a health condition you are unaware of. We have found that by simply testing your blood on a regular basis you can flag up these issues well before they become serious and in turn become a healthier version of yourself.

How is a Private blood test accessible?
Private blood tests allow you to stay remote, while also keeping on top of your health. They are far more accessible than in-person blood tests, which, even before the outbreak of Covid-19, were difficult to arrange and keep on top of. With private blood tests, you no longer feel as though you are wasting your GP’s time by getting minor symptoms tested. Whenever you feel symptoms, you can order a blood test, and carry out the whole procedure on your own.
At-home blood tests also mean that you can test yourself regularly, over a period of months. Symptoms and signs of STIs, for example, may take months before they can be picked up by an at-home blood test. Home blood tests are a handy way of checking up on yourself regularly.
Use a Home Blood Test to Keep on Top of Diseases and Conditions
If you’ve already been diagnosed with a condition, such as hypothyroidism, high cholesterol, or diabetes, and you have been prescribed medication, you can use a private blood test to easily keep on top of how your body is reacting to the prescription. If you’re regularly intaking medicine, it is of great importance to find out how your body is reacting to it. Taking a regular home blood test will give you an exact means of documenting the development or improvement of your condition, as well as letting you know if you should continue to receive the prescription or not. This gives you peace of mind if you have any concerns regarding your prescription, as well as protecting your organs from any potential damage caused by the medicine.
Increased Accuracy of doing a Private Blood test at home
Since many hospitals have made the switch to online telehealth services throughout the pandemic, remote diagnosis and check-up services have increased in terms of quality and accuracy, ensuring that the results of your at-home blood test are accurate. If you provide a sufficient blood sample, the results you will receive will be most likely accurate, with little room for error.
How our private blood tests work
Harley Medic Global offers several different blood tests designed for various infections and diseases, each containing similar items and is easy to use. The basic home blood test pack will come with an alcohol swab for you to clean your skin with before use. They will also contain a lancet for you to make a small cut on your finger with, and a sample tube to collect the blood sample in. You will also find plasters in the kit for you to cover up the cut with after you’ve taken the sample.
Next, send the sample tube to Harley Medic blood test labs in London, where the sample will be examined, and the results will be returned to you within two days.
Although this differs from typical in-person blood extraction performed by your GP, who will normally take the blood sample directly from your vein, private blood tests provide results that can be just as accurate.
Results may be inaccurate if you have not extracted enough blood or if you applied too much pressure to the finger to get the blood out, which can damage the red blood cells and make them impossible to examine.
What Can Private Blood Tests Be Used For?
At-home blood tests can examine a variety of different things, including blood glucose level, hormone levels, potassium levels, cholesterol levels, white blood count, and C-Reactive Protein (CRP). Using this information, private blood tests can determine if you’re suffering from such ailments as:
- Vitamin D deficiency.
- Hypothyroidism.
- Hyperthyroidism.
- STIs.
- High testosterone.
- Low testosterone.
- Coronary heart disease.
- Diabetes.
- Anaemia.
Private blood tests can also be a good way of checking how well your organs are functioning, including your thyroid, heart, kidneys, and liver.
