About the Full Blood Count

The Full Blood Count is an individual blood test offered at our private clinic in London. A edta blood is collected by a registered nurse during an appointment lasting approximately 20 minutes. Results are typically available within 1 day" and are delivered securely via email.

A full blood count (FBC) is one of the most commonly requested blood tests. It measures the different types of cells circulating in the blood: red blood cells (which carry oxygen), white blood cells (which are part of the immune system), and platelets (which help with clotting). The test also measures haemoglobin concentration, haematocrit (the proportion of blood made up of red cells), and provides indices such as mean corpuscular volume (MCV), which indicates the average size of red blood cells. An FBC provides a broad overview of blood health and can help identify conditions such as anaemia, infection, and clotting disorders.

Who May Consider This Test

The Full Blood Count may be relevant for a range of individuals. The following are common reasons people choose to have this test:

  • Anyone seeking a general overview of their blood health
  • Individuals experiencing persistent fatigue or weakness
  • Those who bruise easily or have unusual bleeding
  • People with frequent or recurrent infections
  • Individuals who wish to establish baseline health measurements
  • Those with a known blood condition who wish to monitor their levels
