Questions people ask about Kenton
Can I get a blood test near Kenton without a GP referral?
Yes, self-referral is all that is needed. Book online or on 020 8869 1200 and drive west along Kenton Road, about nine minutes. A blood test measures the markers you choose rather than diagnosing anything, and your GP or specialist remains responsible for interpretation and treatment.
How soon will results come back?
Usually within 24 to 48 hours. The venous blood sample is couriered to an accredited laboratory the same evening, then a pharmacist reviews the report and emails it to you with a printable PDF, so there is no second trip from Kenton to collect it.
Does the whole family need to fast?
Only for certain tests. Lipids and glucose usually need 8 to 12 hours of fasting with water only, while many markers do not require it. You are told at booking which apply, which makes it easy to arrange an early appointment for more than one family member.
How long does a blood test appointment take?
About five minutes for the sample, plus a short chat about which panel fits what you want to check. With roughly nine minutes in the car each way from Kenton, most families are back home inside the half hour.
Can teenagers and children have a blood test?
Under-16s can be tested with parental consent and accompanied by a parent or guardian, and adults can book directly. Panels range from a single marker such as iron studies or vitamin D to a general health screen chosen by you.
What if a marker such as cholesterol is out of range?
The report shows each marker against its reference range and flags anything outside it. A pharmacist adds a note on what the flag means and whether follow-up makes sense. A single value does not rule a condition in or out, so your GP interprets it in context.
Can I share the results with my GP in Kenton?
Yes. You receive a printable PDF report and, where follow-up is needed, a summary letter to take or email to your practice. NHS GPs accept private results as supporting information and may repeat tests through their own laboratory first.
How far is the clinic from Kenton?
About 1.8 miles, roughly nine minutes by car straight west along Kenton Road, the A4006, into Harrow on the Hill. Kenton station sits on the Bakerloo line and London Overground, and Harrow-on-the-Hill is a short walk from the clinic on the High Street.
