Blood Test
Blood Test Results Review
20 minutes going through your results properly, with the clinician who chose which markers to measure.
Paying is what holds the appointment for you. You choose your time on the next page.
Going on to the Restored Programme later? What you pay here comes off it. Ask us for your code.
A report tells you what the numbers are. It cannot tell you what they mean for you, because it does not know the rest of your story.
This is the conversation where the two get put together. 20 minutes with the clinician who chose which markers to measure, going through them against your history, your symptoms and what you already suspected.
What we cover
- What each marker we measured is actually showing
- Which numbers matter for you, and which are noise
- What we would keep an eye on, and when we would look again
- What the right next step is, who can do it, and a written summary you can hand to your GP if that is the route
Why women book it
Because a set of numbers is easier to worry about than to act on. Most women who have had private testing before describe the same thing: a document, a lot of arrows, and nobody to ask.
You can ask here. One thing at a time, for 20 minutes, and nobody is rushing you off the call.
Being straight with you
20 minutes is a results conversation, not a full consultation. If your results open up something bigger, we will say so and tell you what the right next step is rather than trying to squeeze it into the time.
This is not a diagnosis, and it does not replace your GP. If you feel unwell and it cannot wait, contact your GP or NHS 111.
Questions
What women ask before they book this
The honest answers, including the ones that might talk you out of it.
I have already paid for the test. Why is the report not enough, and why is this another charge?
The report is enough for plenty of women, and it is included in the test price precisely so nobody is left without one. This is the optional part: 20 minutes on a video call with the clinician who chose your markers, reading them against your history rather than against a range on a page. If your report made sense to you and nothing in it surprised you, you do not need this.
Could I not just take the report to my GP?
Yes, and for some women that is exactly the right move. What your GP will not have is 20 minutes set aside to go through why each marker was chosen for you in the first place. Worth knowing: your GP is not obliged to act on a result from a private test, and some will not. If that happens, tell us and we will tell you what the alternatives are and what they cost.
Is 20 minutes really long enough?
For a results conversation, usually yes. It is not a full consultation, and if your results open up something bigger we will tell you that rather than cram it into the time left. Being told honestly that you need more is better than paying for an hour you did not need.
Will you tell me what is wrong with me?
No, and anybody promising that from a blood test is overselling it. We can tell you what each marker we measured is showing, which numbers matter for you and which are noise, and what we would look at again and when. A diagnosis is a different thing, and it is not what this call is.
Can I book this if I had my blood test somewhere else?
Yes, as long as the results are recent, which for us means done in the last 60 days. Send them over before the call so the markers can be read properly rather than skimmed live. For some markers, especially cycle-dependent hormones and iron, we may still need a fresh one inside that window, and we will tell you before you book rather than after.
When should I book it?
After your report reaches you. The laboratory takes 3 to 5 working days from receiving your sample, and your written report follows once it has been read against your history. Read it first, so you arrive with your real questions rather than invented ones.
My results all came back normal. Is there anything to even talk about?
Often yes, because normal is a range and where you sit inside it can still be relevant to what you are describing. It is also the call where we agree what to keep an eye on and when to look again. If there is genuinely nothing useful to add, we will tell you rather than keep you on the call for the sake of it.
Who am I actually speaking to?
A Women's Health Pharmacist, and the same clinician who chose which markers to measure for you. You are not being passed to somebody opening your file 30 seconds before the call.
What do I walk away with?
A clear sense of what your numbers mean alongside your own history, what to keep an eye on, and what the right next step is. Where that step involves your GP, you get a written summary you can hand over. Nothing on this call replaces your GP, and if you feel unwell and it cannot wait, contact your GP or NHS 111.
Is this going to turn into a sales pitch for the programme?
It is 20 minutes about your results, and if the honest answer is that you need nothing further, that is what you will hear. If something bigger would genuinely help, we will say what it is and what it costs, once, and then leave it with you.
Not sure yet
Rather ask us something first?
Write to us and describe briefly what is going on. We will tell you honestly whether this is the right appointment for it, and there is no charge for asking.
