Straight up the A62 for same-day bloods.
Newton Heath sits in north Manchester on the A62 Oldham Road, a populous, hard-working district with the Ten Acres area and its own Metrolink stop nearby. That direct road and tram link makes a private blood test at Oldham Clinic straightforward, so you can self-refer for the tests you want rather than waiting for a GP appointment to request them. From a single thyroid or cholesterol check to a full health screen, your sample is taken the same day at Westwood Pharmacy on Featherstall Road North, sent to a UKAS-accredited lab that evening, and reviewed by pharmacist Nazma Bibi before your annotated results arrive within 24 to 48 hours. Free patient parking is on-site when you get here.
Private blood tests a short drive from Newton Heath
Newton Heath sits on the A62 Oldham Road in north Manchester, which runs straight up to Oldham, so Oldham Clinic is an easy trip. You can self-refer for the bloods you want, from a single thyroid or vitamin D test to a full general-health screen, without waiting for a GP appointment to request them. Samples are drawn the same day on Featherstall Road North, sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory that evening, and your annotated results are back within 24 to 48 hours.
Care for a populous, working district
From the streets around Ten Acres out to the tram stop, Newton Heath is a busy, working-class part of north Manchester where time for a GP visit is often tight. We see cholesterol and HbA1c checks fitted around shifts, thyroid and hormone panels, vitamin and iron studies, and baseline bloods before a clinician-led weight loss programme. With the A62 and the Metrolink both heading straight to Oldham, it is easy to reach with or without a car.
Proper clinical testing, clearly explained
Choose a single marker, 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 the NHS uses, and Nazma Bibi reviews each report, flagging anything outside the reference range and explaining in plain English whether it needs GP follow-up. If it does, you leave with a summary letter to take to your appointment.
