Where to go
Your draw is taken by a registered phlebotomist at a partner clinic and sent the same day to a UKAS-accredited laboratory. Choose the one that suits you when you book; morning appointments are available at both.
BD1 · City centre
In the city centre, a few minutes from the Interchange and Forster Square. The convenient choice for anyone in Bradford, Shipley, Bingley or Keighley, and for the university.
LS29 · Ilkley
Twenty minutes up the Aire valley. The better option from Ilkley, Otley, Burley, Menston, Guiseley and the Wharfedale villages, with easy parking.
At home · £39
A registered phlebotomist comes to your home or workplace anywhere in Bradford, Keighley, Shipley, Bingley, Halifax, Skipton or the Craven villages. Morning slots available.
Exact clinic addresses are shown when you book. If you are in the Dales or Calderdale and unsure which is nearer, the at-home option is the same venous draw at the same price as most clinics elsewhere charge for a visit. How at-home testing works.
Signature panel
The Signature panel, 230 biomarkers processed by Randox Health, is collected at a Randox Health clinic; the nearest to Bradford are inside Holland & Barrett in York and at Meadowhall, Sheffield, each about an hour away. The exact location is confirmed at booking. It adds extended cardiovascular apolipoproteins, homocysteine, a full autoimmune and digestive profile, neurological markers and physical measurements to everything in Ultimate, and the £799 price includes the draw. See the Signature panel.
Why Bradford
Bradford has one of the highest rates of type 2 diabetes in England and one of the youngest populations, which means the metabolic problem starts earlier and runs longer than almost anywhere else. The Born in Bradford study found vitamin D deficiency in the majority of South Asian mothers it tested, and the district's cardiovascular mortality sits well above the national average. None of this is caught by an NHS Health Check that tests fewer than ten markers once every five years. The two most useful things a Bradford resident can know are their insulin resistance, years before HbA1c moves, and their ApoB and Lp(a), the particle-count and genetic markers the NHS does not test. Add vitamin D, ferritin and thyroid, and you have the case for a panel rather than a single test.
Fasting insulin and HOMA-IR show the problem 10 to 15 years before HbA1c leaves the normal range, while it is still reversible. Both are in the Ultimate panel. HbA1c guide.
The cardiovascular markers that outperform cholesterol, and the ones that explain heart disease in people with "normal" results. ApoB is in every panel; Lp(a) in Ultimate and Signature. ApoB guide.Lp(a) guide.
The four deficiencies behind most unexplained tiredness, all in every panel, all read against each other so the report can tell which one is actually the cause. Vitamin D guide.
