FBC Blood Test: What It Checks & Cheapest Prices UK

What Does This Test Check?

These tests run a full blood count, or FBC, measuring your red and white blood cells and platelets as a first-line check on general health.

Three providers are listed, Medichecks at £59, Goodbody Clinic at £69 and Vitall at £79 as a test kit. Medichecks is the cheapest while Vitall is the most expensive and is the home-kit option, so the choice is between price and whether you prefer a postal sample.

An FBC may indicate issues such as anaemia or infection, but it is a screening test and does not name a specific illness, so results should be discussed with a GP.
