Where you go

Where you have your blood taken in Sheffield

Sheffield has one TrueVitals partner clinic, in the city centre (S1). Home and office visits cover the city, and the Signature panel is drawn at a Randox Health venue in S9.

If you are in Rotherham, Dronfield or Stocksbridge, the city-centre clinic is usually the closest. If you are north of Barnsley or around Worksop, see the table below: a home visit or a different clinic may be easier.

Home or office visit · £29

Home or office visit

Anywhere in Sheffield, £29

A phlebotomist comes to your home or workplace anywhere in Sheffield, and in Rotherham and Dronfield too.

Useful if you can't get into town, or would rather be fasted at home than on the tram.

Signature only · Randox Health

Signature panel

Randox Health venue, Sheffield S9

The 230-biomarker Signature panel is drawn at a Randox Health venue in north-east Sheffield (S9), about 3 miles from the centre.

How it works

How a Sheffield 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 book a slot at the S1 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 the 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 Sheffield 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 Sheffield

  • You want a thorough baseline rather than one or two markers, and you would rather not wait for a routine GP appointment.
  • 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 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 a face-to-face consultation; the value is in the written, clinician-reviewed report.
  • You need a result today. Reports take up to 4 working days from the lab receiving the sample.

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

Sheffield blood test questions

TrueVitals has a partner clinic in Sheffield city centre (S1), where the blood draw is included in the £399 Ultimate price. A phlebotomist can also visit your home or office anywhere in Sheffield for £29 extra. The Signature panel is drawn at a Randox Health venue in Sheffield S9. Find a clinic

Ultimate (140 biomarkers) is £399 including the draw at the Sheffield 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.

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.

The clinic is in the city centre, so parking and access vary. You get the exact address and directions when you phone to book, and you can ask then. If parking is a problem, a home or office visit is £29 extra.

From Rotherham, Dronfield or Chesterfield the Sheffield City Centre clinic is 6 to 10 miles away. From Barnsley it is about 12 miles, so many people choose a home visit (£29). From Worksop, the Mansfield clinic (about 12 miles) is slightly closer than Sheffield.

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 Sheffield produces exactly the same report as one in London.
