To get a blood test you need to:
-
See a doctor to get a request form
-
Come to one of our collection centres to have your sample taken
-
Return to you doctor to get your results
Preparing for your test
It's important to drink plenty of water before your test - unless your GP has given you a reason not to. This will make it easier to perform your blood test
In some cases, you may be required to fast before your test. Fasting is necessary for some tests because some foods and drinks can affect your results
If your doctor asks you to fast for a test it means they want to know about your results on an empty stomach. This means you are not allowed to eat or drink anything except water for 8-12 hours before your test.
If your test, your doctor, or your form says N.B.M or Nil by mouth, then your fasting instructions will be different.
There may be restrictions on your food, water, medication, brushing your teeth, smoking and more. Please consult your doctor if you are unsure.
