Blood Tests for Salford Quays
Private blood tests for MediaCityUK and Salford Quays, 10 minutes south.
MediaCityUK's nearest private blood test clinic.
Salford Quays patients book private blood tests at Trafford Clinic because we're the closest pharmacist-led service — 3 miles south via the A5063 / Chester Road, typically 12 minutes from MediaCity or the Lowry, with free patient parking on Seymour Grove. The clinic operates from Empire Pharmacy (GPhC premises 1123966), led by independent prescriber Haroon Iqbal. All draws go to UKAS-accredited labs; thyroid, full blood count, HbA1c, ferritin, vitamin D, B12, lipid, hormone, PSA, and pre-Mounjaro panels typically come back within 24–48 hours. We include a pharmacist consultation to interpret what every marker means — the report is the start of the conversation, not the end.

Trafford Clinic is the closest pharmacist-led private blood test service to Salford Quays and MediaCity — about 10–15 minutes via Trafford Road and Chester Road. We operate from Empire Pharmacy, 122 Seymour Grove, Old Trafford (GPhC premises 1123966), led by Haroon Mohammad Iqbal MPharm, IP (GPhC reg. 2051093).

The executive health screen
Our most-booked Salford Quays panel is the comprehensive baseline: FBC, lipid profile (fasting), HbA1c, LFTs, U&E, TFTs (TSH, free T4, free T3), iron studies, vitamin D, serum B12 with active B12 reflex, folate, CRP, plus hormonal markers (testosterone, oestradiol, FSH/LH, SHBG, prolactin, cortisol) and PSA for older male patients. Phlebotomy follows Royal College of Pathologists standards. We do early-morning fasting slots for lipids and testosterone (best 7–9am).
The MediaCity professional angle
Most of our Salford Quays patients are working full-time, often with travel commitments. We run early-morning slots specifically to accommodate "in before work" appointments, and turn results around inside 48 hours so you have data before your week ends. If a flag warrants GP follow-up we provide a free annotated summary letter citing reference ranges and the relevant NICE CKS pathway.
