Fast private bloods off the M60.
Sitting on the Oldham and Failsworth border with the M60 right on its doorstep, Hollinwood is only a few minutes up the A62 from Oldham Clinic. That makes private blood testing genuinely convenient, whether you are calling in from the retail parks, the residential streets, or straight off junction 22. Self-refer for the tests you want, have your sample taken the same day on Featherstall Road North, and let a UKAS-accredited lab process it overnight. Pharmacist Nazma Bibi reviews and annotates every result before it reaches you, usually within 24 to 48 hours, so you get answers rather than a raw printout. Free patient parking and the nearby Hollinwood tram stop make the trip simple.
Private blood tests minutes from Hollinwood
Hollinwood sits on the Oldham and Failsworth border with the M60 close at hand, and Oldham Clinic is only a few minutes up the A62. You can self-refer for the bloods you actually want, a single thyroid or vitamin D test, a cholesterol and HbA1c screen or a full profile, without waiting for a GP appointment to request them. Samples are drawn the same day on Featherstall Road North, processed by a UKAS-accredited laboratory overnight, and the results come back within 24 to 48 hours.
Handy for a mix of homes and retail
With its blend of residential streets, retail parks and easy motorway access, Hollinwood is a natural catchment for quick, no-fuss testing. We see commuters slotting a check in around the M60 run, shoppers calling in on the way past, and people getting baseline bloods before a clinician-led weight loss programme. Because the Hollinwood tram stop links straight to the Westwood stop by the clinic, plenty of patients leave the car at home entirely.
Accurate results, reviewed by a pharmacist
Pick a single test, an organ panel or a comprehensive screen, with a free ten-minute consultation on hand if you want help choosing. Every sample follows the same UKAS chain of custody used by the NHS, and Nazma Bibi personally reviews each report, flagging anything outside the normal range and explaining in plain English whether it needs GP follow-up. If it does, we provide a summary letter you can hand over at your appointment.
Getting here from Hollinwood
We are at 69-71 Featherstall Road North, Oldham OL9 6QB, around eight minutes from Hollinwood via the A62, with the M60 junction 22 just down the road. Free patient parking is on-site, and the tram from Hollinwood reaches the Westwood stop near the clinic. The sample takes only a few minutes, so it is a quick detour in a busy day.
