Anyone know of where i can get private blood tests done in northern ireland. Medichecks no longer have a partner clinic
The two other blue english companies dont have clinic either. Need full thyroid tests done. Medich3cks was the only way i could get them tested. Gp refused.

Can you do a fingerprick test with Blue Horizon or Medichecks? They cover all thyroid tests including antibodies, vitamins and minerals too if you want them tested. Or do you know if someone can do a venous blood draw for you? Is there a BMI, Spire, Nuffield private hospital?
Blue horizon do a home phlebotomy service, you could contact them and ask if your area is covered.
I dont trust the finger prick test will get all the blood. I have heard lots of people say there wasnt enough blood and had to send them again. Wanted a clinic. Tried private hospital/clinics they wont do it unless you are seen by consultant first. Tried those blue companies too
Have you actually asked Blue Horizon if their home phlebotomy service covers your area? They say they cover the UK and NI is in the UK so it may well be covered.
Hi I live in NI and struggled to find private testing here too. Have you tried Randox? They are expensive but have local clinics in NI. When I enquired about thyroid tests they said they could do them under a well woman test. I never took it any further because my GP agreed to do them in the end because I was so unwell . You can contact them by email. Hopefully they can help you.
Hello Jump1, Just joined the forum to find an answer to the same question you have posted here. Did you find a suitable blood test supplier in NI? Many thanks for any advice
