A seven-marker blood panel covering iron status, ferritin, folate, vitamin B12, full blood count and ESR, collected by a nurse who visits you. Suited to people with symptoms of anaemia who want a home-based alternative to a clinic visit.
7 biomarkers as listed by Better2Know.
This panel measures the markers commonly used together to help assess anaemia: iron status and ferritin (how much iron is available and stored), folate and vitamin B12 (both needed to make healthy red blood cells), a full blood count with a five-part differential (which checks your different blood cell types), and ESR, a general marker of inflammation. Testing these together helps build a fuller picture than checking haemoglobin alone.
There is no comparison group recorded for this listing, so we cannot check its £165 price or seven-marker scope against named peers. The provider's own data shows a clinic-based version of this same collection route priced at £295, so the nurse-kit option is the cheaper of the two ways to get this panel from this provider.
It scores strongly for clinical depth, since seven individually itemised markers puts it near the top of the similarly sized vitamins and minerals tests we track, and well for clarity given the full description, sample type and turnaround published. Its value for money score is weaker, reflecting a price above the typical range for tests of this size, and results and follow-up is limited because results are not doctor-reviewed as standard.
This suits people with symptoms such as tiredness, dizziness or breathlessness who want a fuller anaemia work-up than a single iron or B12 check, collected at home by a visiting nurse rather than at a clinic.
If you would rather have the blood drawn during a clinic appointment, the provider also offers this same collection route for £295, £130 more than the nurse-kit price. If your symptoms are severe or persistent, speak to a GP directly rather than relying on a single test.
A nurse visits you to take a venous blood sample as part of this kit, then posts it to the provider's laboratory. Results are typically ready within 2 working days of the sample arriving, and you view them through the provider's secure online patient area once the Patient Services team confirms they are ready. Results are not doctor-reviewed as standard.
Seven markers used together to help assess anaemia, iron status, ferritin, folate, B12, a full blood count and ESR, make up this nurse-collected kit. At £165 it also has a clinic-based version for £295, and results are typically ready within 2 working days. Results are not doctor-reviewed as standard.
The listing publishes a detailed description, the full biomarker list, a stated turnaround, clear collection options, the sample type; it does not state what the report looks like.
