Blood tests
Most comparison pages quote the test and quietly leave out the draw. Some providers charge £40 or £50 on top, and a “from £29” headline can end up dearer than a £159 one. Every figure below is a total.
We show the price before you give us anything. No email, no phone number, no quiz. That is why there is no form above this table.
These are the multi‑marker “well person” panels - the ones people mean by an annual blood test. Sorted by what you actually pay.

Read from each provider’s own site on 15 September 2026. Third‑party comparison articles currently list the Randox Everyman at around £295; Randox’s own page says £416, and we use the provider’s figure. Urinalysis is not available at every Randox clinic - Winchester, Chester, York, Sheffield and Henry Street do not offer it on site.
Cheaper per test, but the collection fee is where the sums change. This is the part of the market where headline prices mislead most.

Some providers price by subscription rather than per test - a headline of around £117 at one well‑known brand is a three‑month commitment, not a one‑off. Where we cannot show a genuine one‑off total, we leave the provider off this page rather than put an incomparable number in the same column.
This is the most gamed part of the category. Four different standards get shortened to “ISO certified”, and only one of them is about the laboratory that analyses your blood.
We publish whatever accreditation each provider publishes, and we say so when a number is missing. We do not repeat a claim we could not check, and we do not list a provider that publishes no laboratory accreditation at all.
Reference ranges are built so that roughly one in twenty healthy people falls outside them on any single marker. Order fifty markers and the arithmetic alone will flag something for most people.
A single out‑of‑range figure, on its own, is usually not a diagnosis. It is a reason to repeat the test, or to talk to a doctor who can see it next to your history.
This varies more than you would expect, and it is worth checking before you buy. Some providers include a doctor’s written commentary. Some include a GP referral. Some deliberately provide no interpretation at all - Nuffield Health’s self‑referral pathology service says so plainly.
If you want someone to talk it through, buy that explicitly. Randox sells a GP consultation at £65; most add‑ons of this kind sit between £40 and £70.
For almost everything on this page, no. The exceptions run the other way: Blue Horizon includes a GP referral in its price, and a few providers will only test on a practitioner’s order. Bupa puts its tests inside a paid GP appointment, so it is not a self‑referral product at all.
For many markers a finger‑prick sample is fine. For others the volume is not enough, or the marker degrades, and a venous draw is the only reliable option. Where a provider offers both, the venous version is usually the one with the longer marker list.
Usually not. Medichecks states its microalbumin urine test is not suitable for posting and must be collected in clinic. Urine is largely an in‑clinic product - Randox includes urinalysis in its in‑clinic package, but not at every site.
One to three working days is typical for a clinic draw. Postal kits add the time your sample spends in the post, so allow the best part of a week.
No. A health check pairs a blood panel with imaging. If that is what you are after, our health check packages combine a full body MRI with a Well Man or Well Woman panel.
Either it publishes no laboratory accreditation we could verify, it prices by subscription so no honest one‑off total exists, or it does not sell direct to patients at all. Several of the best‑known laboratory names in the country - TDL, Synnovis, SYNLAB, HSL - have no consumer route; they run the testing behind other people’s brands.
Tell us what you are trying to find out and where you are. We will point you at the cheapest total that actually covers it - or tell you that you do not need the test.
FindScan is a booking and comparison service, not a healthcare provider and not a laboratory. Tests are carried out by the named providers under their own regulatory registrations. Nothing on this page is medical advice, and a blood test cannot rule out disease. Prices were read from each provider’s own website on 15 September 2026 and can change without notice - we confirm the total with you before you pay anything.
