About the Full Blood Count
The Full Blood Count is an individual blood test available at St Paul's Medical and Dental, our private practice at 5 Ave Maria Lane in the City of London, EC4M 7AQ. Your edta blood is taken by a registered nurse in an appointment of approximately 20 minutes. You can expect your results within 1 day", delivered securely to your 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.
St Paul's Medical and Dental is within walking distance of St Paul's tube station, Blackfriars, and City Thameslink. The clinic is open Monday to Friday from 8am to 8pm, making it convenient for City workers and local residents. All blood samples are processed by an accredited laboratory, and appointments can be booked online at a time that suits your schedule.
