What is the Cholesterol Check blood test?
A private Cholesterol Check blood test can help you understand your body's lipid levels. You can book this test directly online without needing a GP referral, making it a convenient way to check your cholesterol.
This specific panel looks at your Lipid Profile, measuring key markers like Total Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol, HDL Cholesterol, the Total Cholesterol/HDL Cholesterol Ratio, and Triglycerides. It's important to remember that this blood test measures specific markers; a qualified clinician will interpret these results for you, and the test does not diagnose any medical condition.
Your small blood sample will be taken at our clinic in Dartford, Kent, and sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for processing. You can expect your results to be available in your secure online portal within 2–5 working days, reviewed by a clinician. Booking is straightforward with a one-off payment, and no GP referral is necessary.

Cholesterol Check — frequently asked questions
Do I need to fast before the Cholesterol Check?
Yes — we recommend fasting for 8–10 hours beforehand (water is fine), as recent food and drink can affect cholesterol and glucose readings.
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.
