Excellently organised!
Easy to arrange a test, quick to get an appointment at one of the many Spire hospitals across the country, and prompt turnaround times for results.

I wanted to have a urine culture test…
I wanted to have a urine culture test at this clinic, which I had to pay for. I did not want any other service. On the company's website it costs £95, but it does not say that I need a consultation, which must be paid for separately. I consider this to be misleading advertising. Attention to other interested parties, do not waste your time.

Dear Vicentiu,
I'm very sorry to hear that you feel misled. Please email me at rebecca@bluehorizonmedicals.co.uk with the details, and I will personally look into this matter.
I'm not entirely sure what payment you are referring to regarding the extra consultation fee, but I’d be happy to investigate and clarify.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best regards,
Rebecca

Very disappointing
Very disappointing! My drs won’t accept the results unless they are sent direct from the company. The company won’t send results to the drs even though it would take 1 min to do therefor, this whole process is useless. I do not recommend this company to anyone wanting blood tests.

We’re really sorry to hear that your doctor won’t accept the results directly from you.
We completely understand how frustrating that must be. Unfortunately, due to data protection regulations, we can only send results directly to the patient, but we always encourage patients to share them with their healthcare provider in the format provided.
In most cases, a printed copy of the results should be acceptable for your doctor, as they contain all the necessary details, including the laboratory's information.
It may be worth checking with them again.
Additionally, it’s worth noting that around 90% of the time, we use the same accredited laboratories as the NHS, so the quality and reliability of the results should be no different from those issued through standard healthcare channels.
We genuinely appreciate your feedback and understand how important a smooth process is when it comes to blood testing.
If there’s anything else we can do to help, please feel free to email rebecca@bluehorizonmedicals.co.uk

Great service all round.
Booked online all fine. Their online chat was very good, they answered quickly and were very helpful. The private hospital who dealt with the phlebotomy was also very good and professional.
Their blood tests came back well within the specified time and the doctor's comments were very helpful and informative.

Good experience
Fast, efficient in both the ordering, booking and return of the tests. If you can't get anywhere via your GP - as is so often sadly the case these days - this is an excellent service. The only downside is the cost.

We're really pleased to hear you found the service fast and efficient, that’s exactly what we aim for.
We completely understand that accessing tests through the GP can be frustrating, and we’re glad we could provide a reliable alternative.
We do appreciate that private testing comes at a cost, and we always strive to keep our pricing as competitive as possible while maintaining the highest standards of service and accuracy.
