1. Book your appointment directly. No GP referral needed. Same-day and next-day slots are often available.
2. Have your blood drawn at our Hale clinic. Your sample is securely transported to the laboratory the same day.

Yes. “Blood work” is another term for blood testing. It simply refers to analysing a blood sample to understand your health, hormone balance or other markers.

Most routine blood test results are available within 24-48 hours. However, some specialised tests may take 3-5 working days.

Hormone tests and more complex profiles can take up to 7 days. We’ll inform you of the expected timeframe when you book your test.

This depends on the specific test:

• Cholesterol tests typically require 10-12 hours of fasting
• Hormone tests are best done in the morning
• Glucose tests may require fasting or specific timing
• Vitamin and mineral tests generally don’t require fasting

We’ll provide detailed instructions when you book your appointment.

Yes. Summerhill Health offers one of the most thorough private blood testing services in the Greater Manchester and Cheshire area. Our comprehensive health screening blood tests are designed to give you a detailed picture of your overall health, not just check one or two markers.

A comprehensive screening at Summerhill Health typically includes:

• Full blood count: checks red cells, white cells and platelets for signs of anaemia, infection or blood disorders
• Heart health: cholesterol profile (HDL, LDL, triglycerides) and cardiac risk markers
• Liver function: enzyme levels to assess liver health
• Kidney function: creatinine, electrolytes and filtration markers
• Diabetes screening: HbA1c and glucose levels
• Thyroid function: TSH, T3, T4 and thyroid antibodies
• Iron studies: ferritin and iron status
• Nutritional health: vitamin D, B12, folate
• Inflammation markers: CRP and ESR

Our screening panels range from a Basic Screen (£75), which covers the essentials through to our Advanced GP3 panel (£335), which adds hormonal health, allergy evaluation and tumour markers.

We also create fully bespoke profiles for your specific health concerns, which is something most clinics don’t offer.

No GP referral is needed. You can book directly online, by email or by phone, and appointments are often available within the same week.

• Venous blood tests provide more reliable results because:
• A larger sample volume allows for more accurate analysis
• Standardised laboratory processing
• Better quality control
• Ability to perform multiple tests from one sample
• Lower risk of sample contamination

No. You can book a private blood test at Summerhill Health directly. No GP referral, no waiting list and no need to justify why you’d like the test. Many of our patients book blood tests on their own initiative, whether for routine health monitoring, peace of mind or to track how a treatment like HRT is working.

If you’re unsure which blood test is right for you, you can book a 15-minute consultation (£85) with Dr Natalie Summerhill by video or telephone to discuss your needs before booking your test.

The frequency depends on your individual circumstances:

• Annual testing for general health monitoring
• Every 3-6 months for hormone therapy monitoring
• More frequent testing may be needed for specific conditions
• Athletes may need regular monitoring during training

Dr Natalie Summerhill can advise on the optimal testing schedule for your specific needs.
