Private blood tests in Birmingham are available at The Vesey Private Hospital without a GP referral, waiting list, or lengthy processing time.

Tests are processed by accredited UK laboratories with results delivered securely online.
Why Get a Private Blood Test in Birmingham?
NHS blood tests are invaluable, but they are generally limited to tests your GP deems clinically necessary. Private blood testing gives you the ability to request specific tests based on your own health concerns, lifestyle, or family history — without needing a medical reason approved by a third party.
Common motivations for private blood testing include monitoring general health and nutritional status, investigating symptoms your GP has not yet investigated, checking hormone levels including testosterone, oestrogen, and thyroid function, pre-employment or insurance medicals, and sports performance monitoring. At The Vesey, results are reviewed by a clinician who can explain what they mean and recommend next steps.
Our phlebotomy service is available at our Sutton Coldfield clinic, with walk-in appointments on most days. We also offer a home phlebotomy service for patients who are unable to attend the clinic.
Which Blood Tests Are Available?
The Vesey offers a comprehensive range of individual tests and curated panels. Popular options include the Full Blood Count (FBC), which assesses red and white blood cells and platelets; liver function tests (LFTs); kidney function tests (U&Es); cholesterol and lipid profiles; HbA1c for diabetes monitoring; thyroid function (TSH, T3, T4); vitamin D, vitamin B12, and folate; iron studies; and CRP for inflammation.
Our health screening packages bring together the most clinically relevant tests at a significant saving compared to ordering individually. The Essential Health Screen combines 20 key markers for a complete baseline picture. More advanced screens add hormone profiles, cancer markers, and specialist cardiovascular risk assessments.
For specific conditions, we offer targeted panels including the Menopause Panel for women experiencing perimenopausal symptoms, the Sports Performance Panel for athletes monitoring training load and recovery, the Sexual Health Screen, and the Allergy Profile for patients with suspected intolerances.
How Are Results Delivered and Explained?
Blood test results at The Vesey are processed by UKAS-accredited laboratories and typically available within 24 to 48 hours. You receive results securely via our patient portal, along with a reference range and a brief clinical commentary. Abnormal or borderline results are flagged, and our team will contact you to discuss next steps if clinically indicated.
Unlike some private blood testing services that simply email a spreadsheet of numbers, The Vesey's approach ensures you understand what your results mean. A follow-up GP or specialist consultation can be booked directly from your results portal if you wish to discuss findings in more detail.
All results are stored in your patient record and can be shared with your NHS GP on request. This is particularly useful for patients managing long-term conditions across both NHS and private care.
How Much Do Private Blood Tests Cost in Birmingham?
Individual blood tests at The Vesey start from £32 for a single marker. Our health screening packages range from £99 for the Essential Screen to £499 for the Executive Screen, which includes over 80 markers and a full clinical review.
Many patients find that a private blood test, combined with a GP consultation to review the results, costs less than a single session at a high-street wellness clinic — and comes with far greater clinical oversight. Prices are fully transparent and confirmed at the time of booking.
Patients covered by private health insurance should check their policy. Blood tests associated with a diagnosis or ongoing condition are often covered. Our team can provide invoices in the correct format for insurance claims.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a GP referral to get a blood test at The Vesey?
No referral is needed. You can book a blood test directly online or by phone without seeing a GP first, though we recommend a GP consultation to review your results if markers are abnormal.
How quickly will I get my blood test results?
Most results are available within 24–48 hours via our secure patient portal. Some specialist tests may take slightly longer, but you will be informed of this at the time of booking.
Can I get a blood test near Birmingham without going to a hospital?
Yes — The Vesey is not a large acute hospital. Our clinic in Sutton Coldfield offers a calm, straightforward phlebotomy service with no A&E queues or hospital parking charges.
What should I do before a blood test?
For fasting tests (such as glucose, HbA1c, or certain lipid panels), you should not eat for 8–12 hours before your appointment. Water is fine to drink. For most other tests, no fasting is required. We will confirm any preparation requirements when you book.
