Blood tests without the three-week GP wait.
Looking for a private blood test in Oldham? Oldham Clinic, the private testing service at Westwood Pharmacy on Featherstall Road North, lets you self-refer for the bloods you want without waiting weeks for a GP slot to ask. Whether it is a thyroid check, a cholesterol and HbA1c screen, a hormone panel or a full general-health profile, your sample is taken the same day, couriered to a UKAS-accredited lab that evening, and the results are back with you in 24 to 48 hours, reviewed and annotated by pharmacist Nazma Bibi. No referral, no long queue, and free patient parking a few minutes from the town centre.
Private blood tests in the centre of Oldham
Oldham Clinic runs daily phlebotomy from Westwood Pharmacy on Featherstall Road North, just off the ring road and a short hop from the town centre. You can self-refer for the tests you actually want, from a single thyroid or vitamin D check to a comprehensive health screen, without waiting three weeks for a GP appointment simply to request them. Samples are drawn on-site by trained clinical staff, sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory the same evening, and your results land in your inbox within 24 to 48 hours.
Trusted by people across the borough
Oldham is one of the largest and most diverse towns in Greater Manchester, and the reasons people book bloods here are just as varied. We see shift workers from the town centre offices and retail parks who need a check outside GP hours, families booking a baseline before starting a clinician-led weight loss programme, over-40s keeping an eye on cholesterol and HbA1c, and people investigating fatigue with a combined thyroid, iron, B12 and vitamin D panel. Whatever brings you in, the process is quick, private and close to home.
What we test and how it works
Pick a single marker, an organ panel such as liver or kidney function, or a full general-health screen covering 50+ markers. A pharmacist can help you scope the right panel in a free ten-minute consultation if you are not sure. Every sample follows the same UKAS chain of custody the NHS uses, and every report is reviewed by Nazma Bibi, who flags anything outside the normal range and explains in plain English whether it needs GP follow-up. If it does, we provide a summary letter you can take to your appointment near Tommyfield.
