UK private blood tests range from about £29 for a single marker to £929 for a full health assessment. Comprehensive panels with a doctor review typically cost £150 to £300. The Get A Drip Blood Test is £159 all-inclusive, covering 49 biomarkers, in-person physical measurements, a written report and personalised treatment plan signed off by a UK registered GP.

The NHS is excellent at diagnosing problems, but waiting lists are long and access to cutting-edge treatments — for example for MASLD or longevity — is limited. With Get A Drip you get faster results, a broader panel and a personalised treatment plan you can act on the same week, with direct access to treatments that are difficult or expensive to access elsewhere.

Venous blood draws are the clinical gold standard to which finger-prick tests (also known as capillary tests) are benchmarked. Finger-prick tests are acceptable but more prone to unreadable results due to haemolysis in transit, where red cells break and skew results, or temperature changes causing unreadable results. Every Get A Drip Blood Test uses a venous draw taken by a trained clinician at one of our 18 locations.

Numbers alone aren’t the point. What matters is that the panel covers the markers that actually assess your risk of cardiovascular disease, metabolic disease, nutrient deficiency and hormonal imbalance. The Get A Drip Blood Test is built around exactly that set.

Most NHS GPs will look at private blood test results as context. They may still repeat tests on the NHS pathway before formal diagnosis or treatment, particularly for prescribing decisions. This is normal practice and not a reflection of the quality of the private test.

Results are typically available within 3 to 5 working days, with your personalised treatment plan available a few days after that.

Yes — we don’t just advise, we offer solutions. Unlike most blood test providers, Get A Drip also offers in-house treatments (IV therapy, vitamin injections, iron infusion, GLP-1 weight management, ED treatment, infrared sauna, pelvic floor chair, PBM red light, hyperbaric chamber, whole body cryotherapy and IV ozone). For anything outside our treatment scope, your doctor’s written report includes a clear referral suggestion you can take to your GP or a private specialist.

Fasting is required for accurate measurement of lipids. We recommend coming in fasted (water only, 8 to 12 hours) to get the most accurate cardiovascular readings. If you are a man interested in your testosterone levels, prioritise a morning slot — ideally before 11am, or within 4 hours of waking — as this is the time window that offers the most accurate testosterone reading.

If your report flags a finding that needs urgent attention, our clinical team will contact you directly before the report is released, and your doctor’s review will set out the recommended next steps.
