Where you go

Where you have your blood taken in Manchester

Manchester has five TrueVitals partner clinics: two in the city centre (Northern Quarter and Deansgate, both M3), one in Didsbury for the south of the city, and one each in Oldham and Bolton. The draw is included at all of them.

How it works

How a Manchester blood test works

01

Order online

Choose Ultimate (£399) or Advanced (£319), and clinic or home visit (£29 extra). Klarna and Clearpay are available at checkout.

02

Get your referral by email

Your referral is created the moment you pay and arrives by email with the number to call. It never expires, so you can book next week or next month.

03

Phone to book your draw

Ring the booking line when it suits you and choose a clinic or a home visit. The call confirms your identity and date of birth and books the appointment there and then. The draw takes about ten minutes.

04

Read your report

Your clinician-reviewed report arrives within 4 working days of the lab receiving your sample, with every marker explained in plain English, PhenoAge and your TrueScore.

Nine in ten customers are booked within seven days. You can switch between a clinic and a home visit at any point, and if you change your mind before booking, cancellation is automatic and fully refunded.

What is tested

What the Ultimate panel tests, and who it suits

Ultimate is the panel most Manchester customers choose: 140 biomarkers (139 for women) from one venous draw, measured by Nationwide Pathology, a UKAS-accredited lab, and read together in one written report rather than handed over as a list of numbers.

Heart and cholesterol

Full lipid profile plus ApoB, Lp(a) and high-sensitivity CRP. ApoB and Lp(a) are rarely part of a routine NHS cholesterol check.

Blood sugar and metabolism

Glucose and HbA1c, plus fasting insulin, HOMA-IR and C-peptide, which can show insulin resistance before HbA1c moves.

Thyroid

TSH, free T4 and free T3, with thyroid antibodies. A routine check often stops at TSH.

Hormones

Sex hormones (the set depends on your sex), cortisol and DHEA-S, read alongside your thyroid and metabolic markers.

Organs, blood count and nutrients

Liver and kidney function including cystatin C, full blood count, iron studies, vitamin D, B12 and folate.

Immune, coeliac and tumour markers

Immunoglobulins, coeliac screening and selected tumour markers. Tumour markers are not a cancer screen on their own; your report explains what a result does and doesn't mean.

Who it suits in Manchester

  • You want a thorough baseline you can fit into a lunch break in the city centre, or do at home.
  • You have been told your bloods are "normal" but still feel tired, foggy or not yourself, and want the markers a routine test leaves out.
  • You have a family history of heart disease or diabetes and want ApoB, Lp(a) and fasting insulin measured.
  • You train hard, are on TRT, or are using a weight-loss injection and want a properly measured picture (venous, not finger-prick).

The other two panels

Advanced, 74 biomarkers, £319 including the clinic draw. Full thyroid with free T3, ApoB, iron studies, hormones including cortisol and DHEA-S, liver, kidney and vitamins. It leaves out Lp(a), fasting insulin and HOMA-IR, C-peptide, immunoglobulins, tumour markers and cystatin C. Advanced panel

Signature, 230 biomarkers, £799 including the draw. Everything in Ultimate plus specialist markers such as homocysteine, ApoE, small dense LDL, cardiac injury markers, IGF-1 and active B12, drawn at a Randox Health venue. Results take up to 12 working days. Signature panel

Being straight with you

When the NHS or your GP is the better route

Go to your GP (or call 111) instead

  • You have new or worsening symptoms, such as chest pain, unexplained weight loss, blood in your urine or stool, or a lump. Call 999 in an emergency.
  • You are aged 40 to 74 in England with no existing heart, kidney or diabetes diagnosis: the free NHS Health Check (every five years) includes a cholesterol test and diabetes risk check.
  • You are already under a hospital team for a condition. Keep your monitoring bloods with them.
  • You are pregnant: antenatal blood tests come through your midwife.

When TrueVitals is not the right buy

  • You need a result today. Reports take up to 4 working days from the lab receiving the sample.
  • You only want one marker rechecked, such as vitamin D or ferritin. A single-marker test is far cheaper than a full panel.
  • You want a consultation with a doctor on the day. No TrueVitals panel includes one; the value is in the written, clinician-reviewed report.

A private test does not replace your GP. If your report flags something that needs follow-up, it says so plainly and tells you what to take to your GP. NHS vs private blood tests, compared

FAQs

Manchester blood test questions

TrueVitals has five partner clinics in Greater Manchester: the Northern Quarter and Deansgate (both M3) in the city centre, Didsbury (M20), Oldham (OL4) and Bolton (BL1). The draw is included in the £399 Ultimate price. A phlebotomist can also visit your home across Greater Manchester for £29. The Signature panel is drawn at a Randox Health venue in M1.

Ultimate (140 biomarkers) is £399 including the draw at any Manchester partner clinic, or £428 with a home visit. Advanced (74 biomarkers) is £319 including the clinic draw. Signature (230 biomarkers) is £799 including the draw at Randox Health. Klarna splits Ultimate into 3 interest-free payments of £133.

Didsbury (M20) is the closest partner clinic for all three, at about 3, 4 and 5 miles respectively. If you would rather not travel, a home visit is £29.

Your referral is created as soon as you pay and it never expires. Phone the booking line whenever you are ready; nine in ten customers are booked within seven days, and the call books your slot there and then.

Parking and access vary between clinics. You get the exact address and directions when you phone to book, and you can ask then. If parking is a worry, Didsbury, Oldham or Bolton may be easier, or a home visit is £29.

For the most accurate glucose, insulin and cholesterol results, fast for 8 to 12 hours beforehand (water is fine and helps the draw) and book a morning slot if you can. If mornings don't work for you, you can still book later in the day.

Yes. Every Advanced and Ultimate sample, wherever it is drawn, goes to Nationwide Pathology, a UKAS-accredited laboratory, and every report is written and clinician-reviewed by the same team. A draw in Manchester produces exactly the same report as one in London.
