ON CALL Advanced Pregnancy Blood Test
Our pregnancy blood test is much more accurate than the normal urine-based pregnancy test. This test detects the hormone Beta-HCG. The blood sample is normally collected from a vein in the arm and the results can come back within 24-48 hours. All results are confidential and will only be discussed with you by our doctor.
ON CALL Cancer Screening
On-Call Doctors can provide a number of specialist blood tests that can be an aid to the detection of cancer. Its important to realise that a blood test on its own without a discussion about symptoms, family history, or examination is generally not helpful. If you have specific concerns around cancer, we would urge you to speak to one of our doctors beforehand.
ON CALL Prostate Cancer Check
The prostate is a gland in men that is situated between the bladder and the penis. Its function is primarily to nourish and protect sperm. Normally it is around the size of a walnut. As men age it is normal for the prostate to increase in size. The increase in size can affect urination- meaning you may get up at night several times to pass urine or notice that the flow of urine is weaker. Other symptoms may include waiting to start urination or the slowing of urination especially as you are finishing.
To check for prostate cancer the doctor will need to review your symptoms, then examine your prostate and check the PSA- the hormone that can be associated with prostate cancer.

What can we test for?
We can test blood, urine, faeces, and samples of e.g. skin. Through blood tests we can assess how well vital organs are working e.g. kidneys and liver. We can also check for common diseases such as anaemia, diabetes, over or underactive thyroid and rheumatoid arthritis to name a few.
We can check for low levels of certain salts in the blood and levels of vitamins e.g. vitamin D, vitamin B12.
We can also analyse swabs to check for infections e.g. eye/ear or swabs to check for sexual infections.
