Where to go

Cambridge clinic location for Advanced and Ultimate

Your draw is taken by a registered phlebotomist at a partner clinic and sent the same day to a UKAS-accredited laboratory. Choose the clinic or an at-home visit when you book; morning appointments are available for both.

CB2 · City centre

Partner clinic, central Cambridge

In the centre, a short cycle or walk from the station, the colleges and the Biomedical Campus, and on the guided busway. The convenient choice for anyone in Cambridge, Cherry Hinton, Chesterton, Trumpington, Girton or Histon, and for the university and Addenbrooke's.

Park and ride

Driving in from the county

Central Cambridge is easier by park and ride than by car. Trumpington, Babraham Road, Madingley Road, Milton and Newmarket Road all run into the centre every ten minutes, which makes the clinic a simple morning trip from Ely, Newmarket, Saffron Walden or St Ives.

At home · £39

Mobile phlebotomist

A registered phlebotomist comes to your home or workplace anywhere in Cambridge, Ely, Huntingdon, St Neots, St Ives, Newmarket, Saffron Walden, Royston or the Cambridgeshire villages. Morning slots available.

Exact clinic addresses are shown when you book. If you are out in the Fens or beyond Huntingdon and the drive into the centre is a chore, 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 deepest private blood test in the UK, collected at Randox London

The Signature panel, 230 biomarkers processed by Randox Health, is collected at one of Randox Health's London clinics, under an hour from Cambridge by train to King's Cross or Liverpool Street. 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 Cambridge

The markers that matter most here, and why the NHS check misses them

Cambridge has more people who read the primary literature per square mile than anywhere else in Britain. The university, the Biomedical Campus, AstraZeneca and the Science Park give it a population that already knows what ApoB is and wants to know its own number, and the question those people bring is rarely "am I ill?" but "what is my trajectory?". That question is answered by markers an NHS check never includes: ApoB and Lp(a), which predict cardiovascular events better than cholesterol and one of which is genetic and fixed for life; fasting insulin and HOMA-IR, which show insulin resistance a decade before HbA1c moves; and hs-CRP, the low-grade inflammation that sits underneath most age-related disease. Add the most cycled city in the country, which deserves ferritin, vitamin D and cystatin C read properly, and you have the case for a panel rather than a single test.

Insulin resistance before diabetes

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.

ApoB and Lp(a)

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.

hs-CRP, ferritin and the athlete's markers

Low-grade inflammation, iron stores and a muscle-independent kidney reading for a city that cycles everywhere. hs-CRP and ferritin in every panel; cystatin C in Ultimate. hs-CRP guide.Longevity blood test.
