City Walk-in Clinic has rolled out a new catalogue of competitively priced blood tests with rapid results, establishing itself as one of the most cost-effective providers in Central London. All services are offered on a fully inclusive basis, with no additional or hidden fees, including for phlebotomy.
CEO Alya Shakir commented: “We have provided 50,000 blood tests in the last 3 years with no GP referrals. Many entrants into the market are publishing prices that do not include the blood draw, meaning customers are leaving with bigger bills than they are expecting. Price transparency should be the cornerstone of every private healthcare clinic – patients are trusting us with their health and many are using private healthcare for the first time. It’s vital they leave with the bill they expect.”
Patients can access a wide variety of tests starting at £39, including lipid panels, full blood counts and assessments of kidney and liver function. Hormone testing is available from £45, while the clinic’s Silver blood profile, covering both haematology and biochemistry, is priced at £59.
Clinical director, Dr Enam Abood, commented: “Access to routine blood testing is getting harder and private providers are filling those gaps. There have been over 2 million new users of private healthcare since 2021 in UK. Unfortunately, some providers are not as transparent about price as they should be or sufficiently passionate about patient safety. It has been my passion, since launching these clinics back in 1998, to ensure access to excellent care for ordinary Londoners and visitors to our City.
I’m delighted that our no-referral blood test service, which include safety-netting of all results by our GPs, has given access to fast and easy blood testing in Central London to thousands of people. We’ve supported IVF journeys, medication monitoring, lifestyle improvements, biohacking and advanced health insights, and found hundreds of incidental findings of disease or levels that could lead to future disease. I believe that outside of lifestyle, routine blood testing is the key to longevity and good health.”
The clinic operates from three London locations, providing same-day results for blood testing and sexual health services in Harley Street, the City of London and Victoria.
