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.
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.
