What is the Long COVID Check blood test?
If you're seeking a private Long COVID Check blood test, MyScanHub offers a comprehensive panel to help assess your current health status. This test is designed for individuals wanting a detailed overview of key health markers, particularly if you're experiencing lingering symptoms or simply wish to proactively monitor your wellbeing.
Our Long COVID Check blood test measures a range of markers across vital health areas including liver function, blood count, heart health, muscle and joint indicators, thyroid function, inflammation, kidney health, iron levels, pancreatic function, nutritional status (Vitamin D), and diabetes indicators. It's important to understand that this test measures specific markers; it does not diagnose or detect any condition. A clinician will interpret these results in the context of your personal health.
Your blood 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, within 2–5 working days via your secure MyScanHub patient portal. You can book this private blood test online directly, with no GP referral required.

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