One clinic for all the Saddleworth villages.
Saddleworth is not one place but a cluster of Pennine villages, Uppermill, Delph, Dobcross, Diggle, Greenfield and Grasscroft, spread across the hills on Oldham's eastern side. Wherever in the parish you live, a self-referred blood test at Oldham Clinic saves you the wait for a GP appointment. Choose the tests you want, from a single thyroid or hormone panel to a comprehensive health screen, and have your sample taken the same day at Westwood Pharmacy on Featherstall Road North. A UKAS-accredited lab processes it overnight, and pharmacist Nazma Bibi reviews every result, so your annotated report arrives within 24 to 48 hours. It is a scenic drive down the A670 or A6052, with free patient parking at the end.
Private blood tests for the whole of Saddleworth
Saddleworth stretches across the Pennine hills in a string of villages, and Oldham Clinic is the nearest full private testing service down in the town. Whether you are in Uppermill, Delph, Dobcross, Diggle, Greenfield or Grasscroft, you can self-refer for the bloods you want, from a single thyroid or cholesterol check to a comprehensive screen, without waiting for a GP appointment. Samples are drawn the same day on Featherstall Road North, processed by a UKAS-accredited laboratory overnight, and your annotated results arrive within 24 to 48 hours.
Care that suits a semi-rural, affluent parish
Saddleworth's villages are affluent and semi-rural, with residents who tend to be proactive about their health but short on time to queue for routine bloods. We see comprehensive health screens, hormone panels, thyroid and vitamin investigations, and baseline bloods before a clinician-led weight loss programme. Coming down the valley to a private appointment is far quicker than travelling into central Manchester, and you get the results explained rather than left to puzzle over.
Lab-grade testing, pharmacist-reviewed
Choose a single marker, an organ panel or a full screen, and a pharmacist can help you scope the right one in a free ten-minute consultation. Every sample follows the same UKAS chain of custody the NHS relies on, and Nazma Bibi reviews each report herself, flagging anything outside the reference range and explaining what it means. Where GP follow-up is sensible, we provide a clear summary letter for you to take along.
