Blood test at Cardiff and Vale Hospitals

A blood test is a common and essential diagnostic tool that involves taking a sample of blood to be analysed in a laboratory. The results help our clinical experts to assess your health, diagnose conditions, and understand how well certain organs are working.

At Nuffield Health, we offer two convenient pathways for you to have your blood taken by an experienced phlebotomist (a specialist in taking blood samples) and analysed in our fully accredited pathology laboratories.

How can I get a blood test at Nuffield Health?

There are two ways to arrange your blood test with us. Choose the option that best suits your needs.

1. Referral from your Consultant or GP

If you are seeing a Nuffield Health consultant or GP, they may decide that you need a blood test to help with your diagnosis or to monitor a condition. In some cases, you can have your blood sample taken on the same day as your consultation. If that's not possible, we'll arrange an appointment at a convenient time.

2. Self-pay with our Pathology Direct service

Our self-pay Pathology Direct service lets you choose from a range of blood tests to investigate symptoms, confirm conditions, or identify allergies. You don't need a referral from a GP or consultant, and you can book online at your convenience.
