Private Blood Tests in Plymouth: The Answers the NHS Sometimes Can’t Give
The NHS does an enormous amount of good work – but it can only test for what fits its clinical criteria. If your symptoms don’t tick the right boxes, or you simply want reassurance rather than a referral, you can be left waiting or told a test “isn’t indicated”. That’s where a private blood test can help.
At Tamar Health in Plymouth, you can request a wide range of blood tests directly – including many the NHS won’t routinely offer – with results back the next working day in most cases.
Tests you can ask for directly
Thyroid and hormone panels, testosterone, vitamin D, B12 and folate, iron studies, cholesterol and heart risk, HbA1c (blood sugar), liver and kidney health, full blood count, nutritional screens and more.
Many people come to us because their GP declined a fuller thyroid panel, wouldn’t check vitamin levels, or couldn’t test hormones the way they wanted. We can arrange these tests for you without a referral – you choose the test, we take the sample, and you get clear results with reference ranges.
Why choose Tamar Health
We’re a local, clinician-led clinic – not a postal kit. Your sample is taken properly in clinic, so results are more reliable, and there’s a real person to help if you have questions.
Fast, clear, all-inclusive. Prices start from £75, are all-in with no hidden extras, and most results come back the next working day.
How it works
Choose your test, book online with a £25 deposit, and pay the balance in clinic on the day. Some tests need a 10-12 hour fast (water is fine) – we’ll tell you when you book. All appointments are booked in advance. Blood tests provide information to help you and your clinician; they don’t replace a diagnosis.
