Get to the root of tiredness
Anaemia
Anaemia means your blood is not carrying oxygen as well as it should, and the effects (fatigue, breathlessness, pale skin, palpitations) can creep up gradually. There is rarely a single cause, so this panel looks at the most common ones together: a full blood count to assess your red cells, iron studies to check your stores, and vitamin B12 and folate, both essential for making healthy blood in the first place.
Measured from a single venous draw in our private Leigh-on-Sea clinic, your results arrive as a doctor-reviewed report. You receive a clear explanation of what they mean for you and what is sensible to do next, rather than a bare set of numbers.
Persistent tiredness deserves a proper look rather than a shrug and a stronger coffee. If your results point to a deficiency or an underlying cause that needs following up, they give you and your GP a clear, evidence-based place to begin. And if everything reads within range, that reassurance has real value too, letting you rule anaemia out and look elsewhere for answers.
Preparation: No special preparation is needed. Book a time that suits you, and if you take iron, B12 or folate supplements, note them for your report.

About this test
Whether your red cells, iron stores, B12 and folate sit within range, with a doctor’s explanation of whether anaemia is likely and what type it may be.
Most reports are ready within 5–7 working days of your sample reaching our accredited UK laboratory.
No fasting is required. If you take iron, B12 or folate supplements, it is worth noting them so your results can be read in context.
