One Day Tests - Cheltenham Arvostelua 

Cannot rate this company highly enough. After ordering blood tests (different company) that were supposedly possible to do at home, only to discover I needed blood from pretty much every finger and still couldn’t get enough for the sample, I gave up and decided to find somewhere that offered a proper blood draw with a nurse.

I found One Day Tests, really liked their website and the reviews looked great so I booked at the Cheltenham clinic. I saw a lovely nurse called Jenny and she was absolutely brilliant. Very professional, which immediately felt reassuring but also so personable and friendly that she completely put me at ease.

I realised I’d accidentally left off one of the blood tests I needed and Jenny added it with absolutely no fuss. Technically, she was brilliant too, one of those nurses you wish could take your blood every single time you need it done. It cleary is a skill because it didn’t hurt or even feel uncomfortable.

The turnaround was brilliant. My results started coming back the very next day, despite it being a Saturday, with further results arriving on Sunday. Having the results so quickly meant I was able to take them to my doctor, who could then progress my referral.

I will absolutely use One Day Tests for any future blood tests I need. A genuinely excellent experience from start to finish and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Convenient location with good parking nearby, very efficient service and excellent personable nurse, very good GP consultation when results came in. I will definitely use One-Day Tests again.

Great service! very efficient and quick results.

Very nice ,warm welcome lady I recommend ☺️

full professionalism, I recommend 100%

I decided to visit the local centre for One Day Tests which happened to be in Cheltenham,
I opted for the full blood spectrum tests.
I’m 73 yrs old and wanted a better understanding of my body.
This was prompted by a normal check up at my dentist who noticed some inflammation to my gums. She went mad when she discovered I wasn’t using fluoride toothpaste or using mouthwash. She scoffed and would not listen to my informed reasonings; given fluoride is a poison and mouthwash is carcinogenic - what couldn’t she get? Her counter argument was that you spit it all out and don't swallow it… duh!
As her patient I just said the stuff is being brushed actively through a most absorbent part of the body - the mouth area - straight into my blood stream Duhhhh!
I’ve been with that practice for maybe 18 years!
It took me just 24hrs to find a new holistic dentist and i transferred to that practice.
I was seen in 24 hours.
He suggested propolis from Beevital for the gums .., However -
He also suggested full bloods test and analysis to ensure no underlying problems like diabetes or inflammation markers…
So...Afterwards I tried my doctor practice. Telephoned them:::::
1. Recorded answer machine message 20 mins long, Giving useless options.
2. I persisted via various means and was told that I couldn’t get the blood test without a full doctor appointment and as it wasn’t a serious issue then an appointment could be 3 weeks hence. Also no guarantee that you’d get a full blood test anyway. Gum inflammation is not a valid reason. Basically, I’d otherwise have to lie with fake other symptoms!
In other words we have no real health care in UK and i wasn’t dying today so “go away”

So I went online and discovered One Day Tests and that seemed was the answer albeit I had to pay for it all.
I got the appointment same day I asked.
Simple blood extraction. No issue at all.
As we were coming up to Bank Holiday Monday I was pre warned that results would maybe take a little longer than usual.
So: Thursday - blood sample taken locally
Friday - email to me to advise that lab had received sample (i.e the next day)
Saturday - full results and dashboard graphs emailed to me.
Wow - such efficiency, how fast was that!
What does this show:
1. NHS/GP system is broken let alone outdated and also there is preset Dentist mentality. Maybe they are incentified to push Corsodyl and Colgate!
2. Self help and knowledge is frowned upon.
How dare you you question the “experts”
3. You can take matters under your control but it needs basic understanding and ability to pay for it.
Results: very comprehensive and rather exciting to see most of what my body is up to! No diabetes, no inflammation markers.
Testosterone very low. I have options, albeit at 73yrs old - as what to do about that and even that can be handled with doctors at One Day Tests.

In my opinion it was all very efficient and comprehensive and fully met my needs.
Also reassuring that nothing terrible lurking in the shadows.
If I was on Rupert Lowe’s team (!) then how great for a free health service encompassing these sort of things.
To quote MLK - “I have a dream”.
My journey toward full holistic health care carries on.
One Day Tests - totally recommended but I am humbled that I had the means to pay for it whereas many others wouldn’t be able to.
Then again we have choices to either shell out a little for our health or use money to ensure latest gizmo or consumer toy. One will be life enhancing, the other a fleeting moment,

jenny is great and super professional.
Great fast service

A very quick and efficient service all with excellent communication throughout. I expect I will use it again.

Very good service

Excellent.Quick to book online, friendly efficient nurse, and fast results.

I arrived early and was seen without any problems or waiting around.
Very chatty, relaxed appointment

One Day Tests were amazing! A completely professional experience from beginning to end and my results came in incredibly fast with clear explanations. I've never had such a detailed blood test from my doctor and it highlighted some areas to address.
An excellent, friendly and highly professional service.

Easy to book and also reschedule when something came up. Friendly staff and very prompt results in a format that was easy to understand

Professional, friendly phlebotomist and fast results - would recommend

My blood test appointment was easy to arrange without any waiting time. The appointment was dealt with on time by Jenny, the phlebotomist, who was efficient and caring.

Good. The at home test didn’t work for me, but when I went in person the experience was very good and efficient. I got all the results the next day.

As yet I haven’t been able to view my results . I sent a message and didn’t get a reply
I need to be able to see my results

Warm and welcoming,explain everything in simple terms

Very prompt response to my blood test request, very polite phlebotomist who got my blood first time and next day results even though it was a Saturday
