City Walk-in Clinic has launched a new suite of low-cost blood tests with quick turnaround times, offering some of the most competitive pricing in Central London. All charges are clearly outlined, with no hidden costs and no separate fees for blood collection.
CEO Alya Shakir commented: “We have provided 50,000 blood tests in the last 3 years with no GP referrals. Many entrants into the market are publishing prices that do not include the blood draw, meaning customers are leaving with bigger bills than they are expecting. Price transparency should be the cornerstone of every private healthcare clinic – patients are trusting us with their health and many are using private healthcare for the first time. It’s vital they leave with the bill they expect.”
The clinic’s offering includes a wide selection of tests starting from £39, covering lipid profiles, full blood counts and kidney and liver function assessments. Hormone testing is available from £45, and a comprehensive Silver blood profile is priced at £59.
Clinical director, Dr Enam Abood, commented: “Access to routine blood testing is getting harder and private providers are filling those gaps. There have been over 2 million new users of private healthcare since 2021 in UK. Unfortunately, some providers are not as transparent about price as they should be or sufficiently passionate about patient safety. It has been my passion, since launching these clinics back in 1998, to ensure access to excellent care for ordinary Londoners and visitors to our City.
I’m delighted that our no-referral blood test service, which include safety-netting of all results by our GPs, has given access to fast and easy blood testing in Central London to thousands of people. We’ve supported IVF journeys, medication monitoring, lifestyle improvements, biohacking and advanced health insights, and found hundreds of incidental findings of disease or levels that could lead to future disease. I believe that outside of lifestyle, routine blood testing is the key to longevity and good health.”
Same-day testing and results are available at three convenient locations in London, including Harley Street, the City of London and Victoria, covering both blood tests and sexual health services.
