What is the Iron Check blood test?
Our private Iron Check blood test offers a straightforward way to understand your body's iron levels. You can book this test directly online without needing a GP referral, making it easy to take proactive steps for your health.
This specialised panel measures key markers related to your iron status. It helps assess your body's iron stores by looking at Iron, Ferritin, Total Iron Binding Capacity, Transferrin, and Transferrin Saturation. It's important to remember that this test measures specific markers; a healthcare professional will interpret these results in the context of your overall health.
Your blood sample is taken conveniently at our clinic in Dartford, Kent. We use a UKAS-accredited laboratory for accurate processing, and your results are reviewed by a clinician. You'll typically receive your results within 2–5 working days via your secure online MyScanHub portal. Booking is simple with a one-off payment, and no GP referral is required.

Iron Check — frequently asked questions
Do I need to fast before the Iron 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.
