Blood Tests for Sale
Private blood tests for Sale, 15 minutes up the A56.
Sale's nearest private blood test clinic.
Sale patients drive north to Trafford Clinic for private blood tests when the NHS pathway is too slow — we're 4 miles up the A56, typically 12 minutes from Sale Moor or the town centre with free patient parking on Seymour Grove. The clinic operates from Empire Pharmacy (GPhC premises 1123966), led by independent prescriber Haroon Iqbal. All venous draws go to UKAS-accredited labs and most routine panels (thyroid, ferritin, HbA1c, vitamin D, B12, lipids, hormone profiles, PSA, pre-Mounjaro baseline) return within 24–48 hours. A pharmacist consultation is included so the results conversation is actually useful — you'll understand what each marker means before you leave.
