What is the Full Blood Count blood test?
A private Full Blood Count (FBC) blood test provides a comprehensive overview of your general health, measuring key components of your blood. This test is ideal for anyone seeking a proactive health check without the need for a GP referral.
The Full Blood Count measures 13 different markers, including your red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. While it offers a broad look at general health, immunity, and anaemia, it's important to remember that this test measures specific components, and a clinician is needed to interpret the findings.
Your small venous blood sample will be taken at our clinic in Dartford, Kent. It's then processed by a UKAS-accredited laboratory, and the results are reviewed by a clinician. You'll receive your results securely online within 2–5 working days. You can book this private blood test directly online with a one-off payment.

Full Blood Count — frequently asked questions
Do I need to fast before the Full Blood Count?
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.
Do I need a GP referral to book?
No. You can book this blood test directly online — no GP referral is required. It's a one-off payment with no subscription.
