General Blood Test in Plymouth
Our general health blood test in Plymouth covers the key markers your GP would typically check: blood count, kidney and liver function, cholesterol, diabetes indicators, inflammation, iron stores, vitamin D, and a urine dipstick. It’s designed for patients who want a thorough health overview without a specific concern to investigate.
For patients who also want their thyroid assessed and a relevant cancer marker checked, the Standard Screen Plus adds a full thyroid antibody panel and either a prostate (PSA) or ovarian (CA125) marker.
Both panels are carried out by one of our Advanced Practitioners, processed by our accredited laboratory (Nationwide Pathology), with results back the next working day.
