Private blood tests in London — same-day appointments for hormone testing, health screening, and discreet sexual health testing.
At Altera Medical, we provide private blood tests and laboratory testing in London with fast access, careful test selection, and clear clinical interpretation.
Whether you’re looking for reassurance, investigating symptoms, or taking a proactive approach to your health, our blood test clinic focuses on providing answers — not just results.
Blood tests allow us to look beneath the surface and identify what’s actually driving symptoms. You may benefit from private health blood tests if you are experiencing:
Persistent tiredness or low energy
Hormonal symptoms such as weight gain, low libido, mood changes, or irregular cycles
Hair thinning or hair loss
Digestive issues or unexplained symptoms
Concerns about cholesterol or diabetes risk
Fertility concerns or family planning questions
Testing is selected based on your symptoms, health goals, and medical history.
Testing is always selected to be clinically relevant, not excessive.
We provide confidential STI testing in London, including private STI tests and private HIV tests, handled with strict medical confidentiality.
Sexual health testing may include:
Patients request STI tests in London for routine screening, reassurance after potential exposure, or when symptoms such as irritation, discharge, or discomfort occur.
All sexual health testing is discreet, clinically guided, and managed sensitively.
If symptoms, uncertainty, or unanswered questions are affecting your wellbeing, blood testing can provide clarity and direction.
A simple, medically guided process designed to give you clear answers — not confusion.
Clinical assessment
Your symptoms, health goals, and medical history are reviewed to determine which blood tests are genuinely useful. This avoids unnecessary or random testing.
Test selection
Based on the assessment, we recommend targeted blood tests that answer specific clinical questions — whether that’s hormone balance, nutritional status, metabolic health, or sexual health screening.
Blood sample collection
Depending on the tests required, your blood sample may be taken at Altera Medical, or at one of our trusted partner laboratories across London. We’ll advise clearly on where your sample will be taken and how to prepare.
Laboratory analysis
Samples are analysed by accredited laboratories using validated testing methods to ensure accuracy and reliability.
Results review & explanation
Results are reviewed in clinical context — not just sent as numbers. We explain what the findings mean, what’s normal, what isn’t, and why.
Next steps
If abnormalities are found, we outline clear next steps. If results are normal, that reassurance is equally valuable in helping you move forward with confidence.
To keep pricing transparent without overwhelming, we highlight commonly requested tests below. A full test menu is available on request.

Most results are available within a few days. Some specialist tests may take longer.
Appointments are recommended, but same-day blood tests are often possible depending on availability.
A full blood count checks red and white blood cells and platelets, helping detect anaemia, infection, and inflammation.
Common annual tests include a full blood count, cholesterol test, diabetes blood test, liver and kidney function tests, and vitamin levels.
The timing depends on the type of test used. We’ll advise on the correct window period for accurate results.
Modern laboratory STI tests are highly accurate when taken at the appropriate time after exposure.
Private blood tests typically range from £50 for individual tests to £200 for comprehensive profiles.
