Arrive at the pharmacy and speak with a team member to confirm your appointment.

Complete a short form about your health and lifestyle to assess risk factors.

Step 3: Finger-Prick Test

A small blood sample is taken via a quick finger-prick test.

Step 4: Instant Results

Your results are processed immediately and explained clearly.

Step 5: Pharmacist Advice

Speak with the pharmacist for personalised health advice and recommended next steps.

How long does the test take?

The full appointment takes approximately 15 minutes. This includes completing the questionnaire, obtaining consent, performing the finger-prick test, and reviewing results with the pharmacist.

Do I need to fast before the test?

No fasting is required. You can eat and drink as normal before your appointment unless advised otherwise by the pharmacist based on your individual needs.

Is the test painful?

The test involves a simple finger-prick blood sample, similar to a diabetic glucose test. It may cause brief discomfort but is generally well tolerated and over in seconds.

Will my GP be notified?

If needed, we can print a summary or send a referral letter to your GP. This is completely optional.

What happens if my results are abnormal?

If your results indicate any abnormalities or concerns, the pharmacist will explain what this means and may recommend lifestyle changes or suggest follow-up testing or referral to your GP.

How accurate are the results?

We use professional equipment with clinically validated accuracy, suitable for point-of-care health checks. For ongoing monitoring or diagnosis, a GP follow-up may still be needed.

Who is this test suitable for?

This test is suitable for adults aged 18 and over who want to monitor their heart health, cholesterol, or blood glucose. It is not suitable for children or those on certain medications – please ask if unsure.
