Private Blood Testing in West Berkshire
Blood Testing
Blood testing is a common medical practice that involves the collection and analysis of a patient’s blood sample. This procedure is used to diagnose and monitor a range of health conditions, including infections, cancers, and chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension.
This procedure was performed in the NHS after a Doctor (GP) had decided on the best blood test for you. Recently more and more people have chosen to take a more active approach to their health and are using blood tests as a quick and easy way to find out more information about their health conditions.
