What is the Anaemia Check blood test?
Our private Anaemia Check blood test offers a comprehensive look at markers that can affect your energy levels and general wellbeing. Many people book this test proactively, perhaps if they're feeling unusually tired, or simply to gain a clearer understanding of their internal health without needing to see their GP first.
This profile measures key areas including a Full Blood Count (FBC) to assess red cells, white cells, and platelets; Iron Status to help understand your iron stores; Nutritional Health markers like Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid; and markers for Infection & Inflammation such as High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein. Remember, this test measures specific markers in your blood; it does not diagnose any condition, and a clinician will interpret your results.
Your sample is taken by a trained phlebotomist at our clinic in Dartford, Kent. It's then sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for processing. You'll receive your results, reviewed by a clinician, in your secure online MyScanHub portal within 2–5 working days. You can book this private blood test directly online with a one-off payment, and no GP referral is required.

Anaemia Check — frequently asked questions
Do I need to fast before the Anaemia Check?
No fasting is needed for this test. You can eat and drink as normal before your appointment.
How quickly will I get my results?
Most results are ready within 2–5 working days and are uploaded to your secure MyScanHub portal once reviewed by a clinician.
How is the blood sample taken?
A trained phlebotomist takes a small venous blood sample from your arm at our Kent clinic. It's quick and carried out in a private, comfortable setting.
What happens if a result is outside the normal range?
Any result outside the usual reference range is clearly highlighted in your report. A blood test doesn't diagnose on its own, so we recommend discussing flagged results with a clinician — you can add a GP consultation to talk them through.
