Private blood test providers

hello

My nutritionist suggested recently that Medichecks blood tests are possibly not as good as they might be. Not sure what this is about, but can anyone suggest some other UK private blood testing facility that is reliable?

Thank you

I'm not sure what anyones issue is with Medichecks but there has been no major issue that I am aware of. From time to time labs have strange issues which are of course always resolved.

There have been only rumours which isn;t a healthy situation and many members have had no problems at all.

Other suppliers to concider would be Blue Horizons, Thriva, Monitor My Health, OneDayTests. thyroiduk.org/testing/priva...

thank you Jaydee. I have not had any problems and I don’t wish to scare monger, on the hand reliability is important. So I thought I would just ask if anyone had any recommendations.

Your GP may have just said this as they do not like patients having private blood tests. The irony is that most blood testing within the NHS is now done by private companies!
