Private blood testing is now available at The Lomond Clinic — no GP referral needed, no waiting list, and results reviewed by our own private GP, Dr Joyce Braaksma.

Book an appointment, our registered nurse Anna Blackshaw will take your blood sample here at the clinic, and it’s sent to the lab. Dr Joyce will review your results and advise on any next steps. Most results are back within one to three working days.

Our blood testing packages include:

  • General health check-ups — Well Man, Well Person, Well Woman, Basic Health Screen and Health Screen
  • Tiredness, iron and anaemia — including our popular Tired All The Time profile
  • Hormone and prostate health — Menopause Profile, Male Hormone Profile and Stockholm3 (a more accurate assessment of prostate cancer risk than PSA testing alone)

Is your hearing as good as it can be?
Hearing loss can affect you at any age. But one thing is true, no matter how old you are: recognising the signs early will benefit you in the long term.
Are you:
Asking others to repeat themselves?
Having difficulties understanding people on the phone?
Being told you’ve got the TV up too loud?
If you can relate to any of the above, you might be suffering from a hearing problem.
Hearing loss can cause you to become socially isolated or depressed. Research suggests that untreated hearing loss can increase your chances of developing dementia by between 2–5 times. Our hearing tests are free, quick and could set you on the path towards better hearing health and quality of life.
 Book your free hearing test
Your hearing will be thoroughly assessed by one of our hearing care experts. A free test, no longer than an hour, is the best first step you can take towards better hearing.
We know that everyone’s hearing problems are individual, so your hearing solution will be. We can reassure you that today’s hearing aid solutions are modern, tailored to you and discrete. We’ll look after your hearing and any devices for as long as you need us to.
To book your free test, call Audika on 0800 731 6499.
