Welcome to 24DOC's Comprehensive Blood Test Services!

After an initial consultation, the GP may advise that a blood test be carried out. This will usually be done a day or 2 after your first consultation. Depending on the variables being tested you will either need to be in a fast/unfasted state. The doctor will provide this information for you.

These tests contribute to preventive care, offering valuable insights for lifestyle adjustments or medical intervention to avert future health problems.

Beyond health management, regular testing provides peace of mind by confirming normal ranges or facilitating early intervention for detected abnormalities.
