City Walk-in Clinic has introduced a new portfolio of cost-effective blood tests, combining quick turnaround times with fully transparent pricing. The move positions the clinic among the most competitively priced providers in Central London, with no hidden fees or additional phlebotomy costs.
CEO Alya Shakir commented: “We have provided 50,000 blood tests in the last 3 years with no GP referrals. Many entrants into the market are publishing prices that do not include the blood draw, meaning customers are leaving with bigger bills than they are expecting. Price transparency should be the cornerstone of every private healthcare clinic – patients are trusting us with their health and many are using private healthcare for the first time. It’s vital they leave with the bill they expect.”
The updated offering includes a wide range of tests starting at £39, including lipid profiles, full blood count tests and kidney and liver function checks. Hormone testing is available from £45, while a full Silver profile covering haematology and biochemistry is priced at £59.
Clinical director, Dr Enam Abood, commented: “Access to routine blood testing is getting harder and private providers are filling those gaps. There have been over 2 million new users of private healthcare since 2021 in UK. Unfortunately, some providers are not as transparent about price as they should be or sufficiently passionate about patient safety. It has been my passion, since launching these clinics back in 1998, to ensure access to excellent care for ordinary Londoners and visitors to our City.
I’m delighted that our no-referral blood test service, which include safety-netting of all results by our GPs, has given access to fast and easy blood testing in Central London to thousands of people. We’ve supported IVF journeys, medication monitoring, lifestyle improvements, biohacking and advanced health insights, and found hundreds of incidental findings of disease or levels that could lead to future disease. I believe that outside of lifestyle, routine blood testing is the key to longevity and good health.”
The clinic operates across three sites in London, delivering same-day blood test results and sexual health services in Harley Street, the City of London and Victoria.
