Yes — most routine tests can be booked directly. You do not need a referral letter for a full blood count, malaria test, blood sugar, genotype, or an STI screen. You book

The short answer

Yes — most routine tests can be booked directly. You do not need a referral letter for a full blood count, malaria test, blood sugar, genotype, or an STI screen. You book, you come, you get the result.

Which ones need a consultation first

A small number are better ordered after being examined, because the result is only meaningful alongside a history. Hormone panels timed to your cycle, and tests where the right panel depends on your symptoms, fall into this group.

Why some people still prefer a consultation

A test answers the question you asked. If the question is wrong, the answer is not useful — which is the commonest reason people end up testing three times for something a single consultation would have directed properly.

What happens with your result

You receive it, and a doctor reviews anything abnormal. If it needs action, we tell you what and how soon. If it does not, we tell you that too.

Common questions

Do I need to fast?

Only for specific tests — fasting blood sugar, lipid profile and some others. We tell you when you book.

Can I book for someone else?

Yes, but they must attend themselves and consent to the test.

Can I get a test for an employer or visa?

Yes — pre-employment and food handler screening are available.

Will you explain the result?

Yes. An abnormal result is reviewed by a doctor and explained.
