Anaemia Blood Test

What this test can help with

Checks markers related to anaemia and iron status, often used when investigating tiredness, breathlessness or low energy.

Blood tests can support health conversations, but results should be interpreted alongside symptoms, medical history and professional clinical advice.

What may be included

• Full blood count
• Iron and ferritin markers where appropriate
• Vitamin B12 or folate markers where appropriate

Who it may suit

• Fatigue or weakness
• Heavy periods
• Dietary changes or suspected deficiency

Before you book

• Bring identification if requested by the clinic.
• Tell the team about medicines, supplements or recent illness if relevant.
• Ask whether fasting, cycle timing or gestation requirements apply.
