Private Blood Tests Posted or Updated on 10 Nov 2025

The GP practice will not undertake blood tests for investigations and monitoring of treatment at private clinics. If you need blood tests for your treatment at a private clinic, it will have to be arranged and followed up by them regardless of the cost, and this cost should be factored in prior to seeing the private clinic.

Any requests will now be declined as this is unfunded and non-contractual NHS work. The GP practice doesn't have time to arrange or follow up these blood test requests due to the increasing workload. The GP practice may undertake blood test for monitoring of medication as part of a NHS shared care agreement only, which carries the required funding for the work.

Blood test request at the practice will only by arranged by GP's if there is a clinical need.
