Blood Tests for Eccles
Private blood tests, 15 minutes south of Eccles.
Eccles's nearest private blood test clinic.
Eccles patients come to Trafford Clinic for private blood testing when the NHS pathway is too slow or the GP can't see them quickly. We're about 4 miles east via the M60 and Chester Road — typically 14 minutes door-to-door with free patient parking on Seymour Grove. The clinic operates from Empire Pharmacy (GPhC premises 1123966), led by independent prescriber Haroon Iqbal. Draws go to UKAS-accredited labs; thyroid, ferritin, HbA1c, vitamin D, B12, lipid, hormone, PSA, and pre-Mounjaro panels return in 24–48 hours. A pharmacist consultation is included with every booking — you'll understand what every marker on the report actually means before you leave.
