The Clotting Blood Test is a specialized laboratory panel designed to evaluate the blood’s ability to clot appropriately. This comprehensive coagulation assessment measures key factors involved in the blood clotting cascade, including intrinsic, extrinsic, and final common pathways. The test identifies bleeding disorders, thrombotic risks, monitoring anticoagulation therapy, and evaluating patients presenting with unexplained bleeding or clotting complications.
Measures the extrinsic coagulation pathway by evaluating the time required for blood to clot after tissue factor is added. Assesses factors I, II, V, VII, and X.
A standardized measurement derived from PT results, used primarily for monitoring anticoagulation therapy with warfarin.
Evaluates the intrinsic and final common coagulation pathways by measuring time required for blood to clot after activating factor XII.
Measures the concentration of fibrinogen (clotting factor I), essential for the final step of coagulation. Fibrinogen is converted to fibrin to form stable blood clots.
Venous blood
Same day to 1 working day
Unexplained bleeding, easy bruising, prolonged bleeding after injuries
Patients on anticoagulation therapy (warfarin, heparin)
Baseline assessment before surgery
History of thrombosis or family history of clotting disorders

Amazing service, had my blood taken by Sarah, so quick and convenient. I will be using Swift bloods again and will be recommending to my friends and family. Sarah was. Very professional also friendly, she was really lovely. Swift bloods are definitely the way to go.Thank you very much .
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
