Sometimes you simply want answers.
Perhaps you have been feeling exhausted for months, have ongoing symptoms that have not improved, want to check your cholesterol or diabetes risk, or have a family history of a particular condition and would like reassurance. Whatever has brought you here, having concerns about your health is reason enough to seek advice.
At Chelmsford Private GPs, we provide convenient access to private blood testing without the need for an NHS referral or waiting list. More importantly, we provide clinical interpretation of those results so that you understand what they mean for you.
Blood tests are only useful when they are interpreted properly.
A laboratory result on its own rarely tells the whole story. A result that falls slightly outside the reference range does not necessarily mean that something is wrong, while results that appear "normal" can sometimes still be relevant depending on your symptoms and medical history.
At Chelmsford Private GPs, all blood tests are reviewed by one of our experienced GPs and interpreted in the context of:
Patients receive a personalised email explaining their results in clear, straightforward language together with any recommendations or next steps. Where results are more complex or require further discussion, we will arrange a telephone consultation.
Our aim is not simply to provide laboratory numbers, but to help you understand what those results mean for your health.
Your appointment takes place at Phoenix Hospital in a calm, private setting.
One of our doctors will discuss your concerns with you, advise which tests are most appropriate, and take the blood sample during your appointment.
As experienced local GPs, we believe blood testing should form part of a wider clinical assessment rather than being offered as a stand-alone laboratory service.
Our doctors have extensive experience across:
Because we are GP-led, we can help ensure that you have the right tests for your situation and avoid unnecessary investigations.
Appointments can usually be arranged quickly.
A 30 minute new patient appointment is £160 and allows full discussion of your symptoms, medical history and examination before deciding which bloods are required. A 15 minute existing patient appointment is £95. Blood tests are done then and there by the GP reviewing you. The costs of the blood test(s) will be in addition to this.
Please note. In certain circumstances, where only the blood result is needed without a consultation, we can do this for a flat charge of £30 for a venepuncture appointment and the emailed report. The costs of the blood test will be in addition to this.
Please discuss with our team when booking and we can advise you what is required.
In order for our bloods to get to our London laboratory on the same day, we do our blood tests Monday to Friday before 4pm.
We discuss your symptoms and concerns, advise which tests are appropriate, and take your blood sample during the appointment.
Most standard blood tests are available within 24 -48 hours, although some specialised tests may take longer.
Your GP will review and interpret the results alongside your clinical history and provide a personalised written summary by email. If further discussion is required, we will arrange a telephone consultation.
You do not need to know exactly which tests you require before attending.
Many people come to us with symptoms or concerns rather than requesting a specific test, and part of our role is helping determine which investigations are most appropriate.

However, if something requires further assessment, you will not be left trying to interpret it on your own.
Depending on the findings, we may recommend:
The purpose of our service is to ensure that test results lead to clear advice and a sensible management plan.
Many private testing services provide laboratory results without meaningful clinical interpretation.
Blood tests should never be considered in isolation.
An experienced GP can help determine:
This clinical context is often the most valuable part of the testing process.
