This panel includes key measures for cholesterol levels (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglycerides for heart health), HbA1c (average blood glucose to assess diabetes risk), a full blood count (red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and related indices for overall blood health), and essential vitamins (such as vitamin D, B12, and folate to check for deficiencies).
Sample collection: A small blood sample is taken (usually via venous draw or finger-prick) at home using our kit or in one of our UK clinics. The kit includes all necessary materials; simply return the sample in the pre-paid envelope. Results come with a personalised doctor’s interpretation.
Age restriction: Adults 18+ only (guardian consent required for minors).
The Basic/Standard Screens is a foundational blood test panel that evaluates essential aspects of your health, including lipid profile, blood sugar control, complete blood count, and vitamin levels. It helps identify common issues like high cholesterol, prediabetes, anemia, infections, or nutrient deficiencies early on. Your doctor may recommend this as part of a routine wellness check or if you experience symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, or general malaise. Swift Blood Tests ensures quick processing, with results and a doctor’s report typically available in a few days.
Total cholesterol, HDL (good cholesterol), LDL (bad cholesterol), and triglycerides to evaluate cardiovascular risk.
Measures average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months to screen for diabetes or prediabetes.
Includes red blood cell count, white blood cell count, platelets, hemoglobin, and hematocrit to assess for anemia, infections, or immune issues.
Vitamin D for bone and immune health, vitamin B12 and folate for energy and nerve function, helping detect deficiencies that could cause fatigue or neurological symptoms.
A venous blood sample is required (collected in appropriate tubes for each component). No special preparation is typically needed, though fasting for 8-12 hours may be recommended for accurate cholesterol and glucose readings. Drink water and eat normally otherwise unless instructed. Send samples via our next-day laboratory service.
Elevated cholesterol or triglycerides can indicate heart disease potential.
High HbA1c levels suggest prediabetes or diabetes.
Abnormal FBC results may point to anemia, infections, or clotting issues.
Low vitamin levels can explain symptoms like tiredness or weak immunity. This panel often serves as a starting point for further testing if abnormalities are detected.
You may be advised to take the Basic/Standard Screens if you have signs or risk factors such as high blood pressure, family history of diabetes, persistent fatigue, poor diet, or limited sun exposure (affecting vitamin D). For instance, someone with high cholesterol on this test might need lifestyle changes or medication to prevent heart issues. Similarly, elevated HbA1c could prompt dietary adjustments to manage blood sugar. Your doctor will review results in context and suggest follow-ups like advanced panels if needed.
If you can’t find the test you’re looking for, simply give us a call and our support team will guide you to the right option. We’re here to ensure you get the correct test quickly and confidently.

First Class Service
Friendly and helpful staff. Arranged an appointment for the next day at home. Joanne arrived for my appointment to take the required blood tests and delivered them to my local hospital within 35 minutes. I cannot recommend Swift Blood Tests highly enough.
I can’t praise this company enough! Jo arrived on time and was so lovely, easy to talk to and efficient. The whole process from booking the appointment ( and getting one for the following day) to receiving a text that the bloods had arrived at the hospital was really impressive. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use this service again-
This is an amazing service which I heard about through a recommendation and I will 100% be recommending to friends. I booked in late one even and Joanne came early the next morning. I work in London so this was perfect to work around unusual business hours. Joanne was so efficient and friendly. Thank you!
Organised a visit for my disabled elderly mother. Trying to get a local appointment through the NHS swift queue system would have meant several weeks wait. This service was booked online within minutes and the service was prompt, efficient and very professionally carried out by a friendly nurse
