Targeted Investigations with GP Review

We provide private blood tests in Newcastle and the North East for patients who want timely testing with medical oversight. All results are reviewed by a GP and include a brief written clinical summary.

Our panels are structured to investigate specific health concerns, including fatigue (tiredness), iron deficiency, hormone balance, cardiovascular risk and sexual health screening. This service is designed for focused investigation and does not replace ongoing NHS GP care.

    GP-Led Test Selection and Review

    All blood tests at Northern Medical are reviewed by a GP. If you are unsure which tests are appropriate, we can offer a short telephone appointment to help you choose a focused panel based on your symptoms and medical history.

    Our panels are designed in line with current UK clinical guidance and evidence-based practice. We aim to investigate relevant concerns without encouraging unnecessary testing. Results include a clear written medical summary, and follow-up consultation is available where needed.

    Not Sure What You Need? Consider a Health Check

    If you have broader health concerns, multiple symptoms, or simply want a structured review of your overall health, a Health Assessment may be more appropriate than standalone blood testing.

    You can learn more about our Private GP Health Checks.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about private blood tests in Newcastle.

What Does the Anaemia Panel Include?

The Anaemia Panel includes a full blood count (FBC), ferritin, iron studies, vitamin B12 and folate. It is designed to investigate iron deficiency and common causes of anaemia.

What Does the Fatigue Screen Include?

The Fatigue Screen (Diagnostic) includes FBC, ferritin, iron studies, thyroid function, vitamin B12 and folate, kidney function (U&E) and liver profile. It is intended to investigate common medical causes of persistent tiredness.

What is the Difference Between the Fatigue Screen and the Fatigue & Metabolic Screen?

The Fatigue & Metabolic Screen includes everything in the Fatigue Screen, plus HbA1c (diabetes screening), lipid profile (cholesterol) and vitamin D. It provides a broader assessment of metabolic and cardiovascular health in addition to investigating fatigue.

What Does the Male Hormone Panel Include?

The Male Hormone Panel includes total testosterone, calculated free testosterone, SHBG, albumin, LH, FSH and prolactin. It is used to assess androgen status and investigate symptoms such as low libido, reduced energy or erectile difficulties.

What Does the Cardiovascular Risk Panel Include?

The Cardiovascular Risk Panel includes a lipid profile (LDL and HDL cholesterol), ApoB and HbA1c. It is designed to assess cholesterol patterns and metabolic risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease.

What Does the Comprehensive STI Screen Include?

The Comprehensive STI Screen includes HIV (blood test), syphilis (blood test), hepatitis B (blood test), hepatitis C (blood test), gonorrhoea (urine or swab test), and chlamydia (urine or swab test). Targeted STI tests are also available if you only require specific investigations.

What is Lipoprotein(a)?

Lp(a), or lipoprotein(a), is a genetically determined cholesterol particle associated with increased cardiovascular risk. It is usually measured once in adulthood, particularly if there is a family history of early heart disease or unexplained elevated cholesterol.

Should I Have a PSA Test?

PSA (prostate specific antigen) is used in prostate cancer risk assessment. It is not recommended for everyone. Testing is generally considered in men over 45 to 50 or where there are urinary symptoms or relevant family history. It is important to consider the implications of a raised PSA, and we can offer a pre test counselling appointment if required.

Should I Test My Vitamin D?

Vitamin D deficiency is common in the UK and particularly in the North East. Testing may be appropriate if you have symptoms or risk factors. It is included in the Fatigue & Metabolic Screen and can also be added separately where clinically appropriate.

How Quickly Will I Receive My Results?

Most results are available within 2 to 3 working days from the date your sample is submitted to the laboratory. You will receive a GP reviewed written summary once results are available. Turnaround times may vary slightly depending on the specific tests requested.

Are Other Blood Tests Available?

Yes. Standalone blood tests such as a full blood count (FBC), cholesterol testing, PSA or individual hormone markers can be arranged. Where multiple or bespoke tests are requested, we may recommend a short telephone consultation to ensure investigations are appropriate and in line with current clinical guidance.

Is This the Same as a Private GP Service?

No. This service provides targeted blood testing with medical results review. It does not replace NHS GP care and does not provide ongoing management of chronic conditions unless part of a separate structured programme.
