What happens at your appointment?
We confirm the exact test and any preparation requirements, collect the blood sample using standard venepuncture technique and send it to the current laboratory partner. The result route and follow-up are explained before you leave.
Before your appointment
Preparation depends on the test. Some panels require timing or fasting; follow the instructions for the exact laboratory panel.
Downtime & aftercare
Most people return to normal activity immediately. Minor bruising or tenderness at the venepuncture site can occur.
Recommended course
Usually one blood draw for the selected panel; repeat testing only where clinically indicated.
