Blood Tests for Stretford
Private blood tests for Stretford, 5 minutes up the A56.
Stretford's local blood test clinic.
Stretford residents come to Trafford Clinic for private blood tests when they can't get a quick GP appointment or want results faster than the NHS pathway delivers. We're about 1.5 miles north on Chester Road then Seymour Grove — typically 6 minutes door-to-door from the Stretford Mall area, with free patient parking. 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, hormone profiles, vitamin D, B12, lipids, PSA, pre-Mounjaro baseline) return within 24–48 hours. A consultation with Haroon is included so you understand what each marker means before you act on it.
