Private blood test

Does anyone know where you can get a private blood test done in the Birmingham area & how much it would cost? Can't get in to see my Dr. Waiting for an appointment is a lengthy process! !!

Hi Loub37,

I don't know anywhere specifically but if you look on the Thyroid UK website they offer information about private hospitals across the country

Try this link:

thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/testin...

Alternatively, I have just done a finger prick blood test at home. It was much easier than I thought and I had a full thyroid screening for £89.00.

Hope that helps xx

If you go to Blue Horizon page and look at the tests they offer, you will find what you need. If you use offer code TUK10 you also get a 10% discount. (I think that's the discount code!)

Good luck x
