5+ Patient Rating
Swift Blood Tests is now offering exclusive discounts on home blood testing appointments
If the next Swiftqueue slot at Basildon Hospital, St Andrew's in Billericay or Brentwood Community Hospital is weeks away, you don't have to wait. Bring us the form your GP or consultant gave you and we'll take the blood at home, then drive it to the laboratory on the form.
We're a separate, private service, not part of Swiftqueue or the NHS. Your results still go straight back to the doctor who asked for them, so nothing changes on their side.
Plenty of online testing brands sell a cheap-looking test, then add a separate charge for a nurse or clinic to actually take the sample, and you wait for their partner to call you. We don't work that way.
| Swift Blood Tests | Typical online test brand | |
|---|---|---|
| Someone to take your blood at home | Included on private tests | Often £59 extra |
| Clinic blood draw | At our clinic, from 6am | Often £35 extra |
| Choosing your appointment | You pick the time when you book | You wait for a partner to contact you |
| Who you speak to | Our own Essex team, by phone or WhatsApp | A national call centre |

TSH, free T4 and free T3. Often checked when you're tired all the time, gaining weight or always cold.
Your 25-OH vitamin D level. Most people in the UK run low over winter.
Linked to energy, libido and mood. Best taken between 7am and 10am, which is why we open at 6.
Often checked before marriage or starting a family, to understand sickle cell trait.
Total, LDL and HDL cholesterol and triglycerides, to understand your heart health.
Your average blood sugar over the last two to three months.
Iron and ferritin, often the first thing to check if you feel drained or look pale.
Key hormones for questions about your cycle, fertility or menopause.

HIV 1 and 2 antibodies with p24 antigen. Confidential, no referral.
Checks common causes of tiredness in one sample, including iron, thyroid, B12, vitamin D and blood sugar.
Low B12 can cause tiredness, pins and needles and low mood. Worth checking if you eat a vegan diet.

A wider look than testosterone alone, for low energy, low libido or mood changes.
Checks key hormones when your periods are changing or you have menopause symptoms.
Hormones and markers to check before trying for a baby. Some need timing in your cycle.
Measures the pregnancy hormone in your blood, earlier than many home urine tests.
Find out your ABO and Rhesus blood group, with no referral needed.
Start with what's bothering you. A blood test measures markers, it doesn't diagnose on its own, so talk your results through with your GP where needed. Or just ring us on 01277 652067 and we'll help you choose.
A lot of our patients come to us because a hospital blood test went badly before. Children, adults who faint, people with tricky veins. We book longer slots for them and don't rush.
