A new walk-in blood testing clinic has opened in Guildford offering an extensive range of blood tests to patients in the Surrey region.

The One Day Tests clinic, located on Castle Street in Guilford, provides quick and easy access to blood testing services without needing a GP referral. Patients can book a same-day appointment and have the results back later that day.

One Day Tests’ Guildford clinic is run and staffed by highly trained and experienced medical professionals who specialise in venipuncture or the finger-prick technique if preferred. Patients can expect a comfortable and private environment, with morning and early afternoon appointments available at all clinics, to suit their busy lifestyles.

The service One Day Tests offers to the public in Surrey will help reduce pressure on local GP surgeries and the NHS for non-urgent health issues.

Dr Adam Staten, Clinical Director at One Day Tests and GP said: “Our idea is simple. Anyone should be able to have a blood test when they want, how they want to, receive results in a consistent and meaningful form and own those results. Once they have that data they can use it to better their health and wellness.

“With this in mind, we’re thrilled at the opening of our Guildford clinic and look forward to helping the local community take their health into their own hands if and when they choose to.”

Patients can be tested for a wide range of conditions including diabetes, cholesterol levels, thyroid disorders, comprehensive hormone overviews and many more, with blood test prices starting at £39.

One Day Tests founded and built its own accredited and certified Pathology Laboratory which is Care Quality Commission-regulated and External Quality Assurance-verified. Here, One Day Tests can uniquely process capillary and venous samples without the sample being transferred between vials. This minimises handling time and ensures the quality of results is the highest and most accurate they can be.

As well as the recently opened walk-in clinic in Guilford, One Day Tests has a flagship phlebotomy site in Crawley, a clinic in London, Tunbridge Wells, Croydon, Reigate and Hove and plans to open more across the South East. For those that cannot get to clinics and prefer the comfort of their own home, One Day Tests offers home finger-prick tests nationwide that can be returned via courier for next-day results.

One Day Tests is the first diagnostics provider awarded the right to transport their home kits on the DPD priority network.
