Private Value for Money Blood Test Profiles at MUMS Solihull

At Midlands Ultrasound and Medical Services (MUMS) in Solihull, we offer a wide range of private combined blood tests, sometimes referred to as blood test panels, profiles or clusters.

These tests bring together several related blood investigations to provide a broader picture of your health, helping to identify potential medical conditions, investigate symptoms and monitor existing health concerns.

Our combined blood test profiles offer a convenient and cost-effective way to investigate multiple health markers using a single blood sample collection appointment.

Patients can choose between a medical consultation and blood testing or a blood-test-only appointment.

Why Choose Combined Blood Tests?

Many medical conditions can affect several different blood markers rather than just one.

A carefully selected combination of blood tests can help doctors assess patterns in your results, identify possible causes of symptoms and decide whether further investigations are needed.

Depending on the profile selected, combined blood testing may help assess:

• General Health and Wellbeing – including blood count, iron levels and nutritional markers
• Liver Function – assessing enzymes and proteins associated with liver health
• Kidney Function – checking kidney function and electrolyte levels
• Thyroid Function – investigating possible thyroid disorders
• Vitamin and Mineral Levels – including vitamin D, vitamin B12, folate and iron status
• Hormonal Health – investigating selected hormone levels where clinically appropriate
• Inflammation – measuring markers that may indicate inflammation
• Diabetes and Metabolic Health – including blood glucose and HbA1c
• Cholesterol and Cardiovascular Risk – assessing cholesterol and other relevant markers

The tests included will depend on the individual profile selected.

Combined blood tests can offer better value than purchasing multiple individual tests separately, although the most appropriate tests will depend on your symptoms, medical history and clinical requirements.

Combined Blood Testing for Adults (16 Years and Over)

At MUMS, adults can choose between having their blood tests as part of a GP consultation or booking a phlebotomy-only appointment.

Option 1 – GP Consultation and Combined Blood Tests

GP Consultation – £120, plus the cost of your chosen blood test profile

Our experienced Private GPs can discuss your symptoms, review your medical history and recommend the most appropriate blood test profile.

This appointment includes:

• A comprehensive GP consultation
• Advice on suitable blood tests based on your individual needs
• Blood sample collection for the selected profile
• A follow-up telephone consultation to explain your results, at no additional charge

This option is particularly suitable for patients experiencing unexplained symptoms or those who would prefer medical advice before choosing their tests.

Option 2 – Combined Blood Tests Without a Consultation

Phlebotomy Appointment – £35, plus the cost of your chosen blood test profile

If you already know which blood test profile you require, you can book directly with one of our experienced phlebotomists.

This appointment includes:

• Blood sample collection
• Your selected laboratory blood test profile
• Results emailed to you once available

Please note that a phlebotomy-only appointment does not include a medical consultation or interpretation of your results.

If you would like a GP to explain your results, a separate paid consultation would be required.

GP telephone consultations are available from £50, where clinically appropriate.

Combined Blood Testing for Babies and Children (Under 16 Years)

MUMS also offers combined blood testing for children, with two appointment options depending on their clinical needs.

Option 1 – Paediatric Consultant Consultation and Combined Blood Tests

Paediatric Consultant Consultation – £245, plus the cost of the chosen blood test profile

Our experienced Consultant Paediatricians, including Dr Vijay Iyer, can assess your child's symptoms, discuss their medical history and recommend appropriate blood investigations.

This appointment includes:

• A consultation with a Consultant Paediatrician
• Clinical assessment and advice on appropriate blood tests
• Blood sample collection for the selected profile, where appropriate
• Follow-up explanation of the results by the Consultant Paediatrician, at no additional charge

Our Consultant Paediatricians provide blood testing as part of a consultation and do not offer blood-test-only appointments.

Option 2 – Paediatric Blood Tests Only with Pippa, MUMS Paediatric Phlebotomist for infants over 2yrs.

Paediatric Phlebotomy Appointment – £50, plus the cost of the chosen blood test profile

For parents who would prefer their child to have blood tests without a Paediatric Consultant consultation, MUMS offers a dedicated paediatric phlebotomy service with Pippa, our experienced Paediatric Phlebotomist.

This appointment includes:

• Paediatric blood sample collection
• Your chosen laboratory blood test profile
• Results emailed to the parent or guardian once available

This is a blood-test-only service and does not include a medical consultation, clinical assessment or interpretation of the results.

If you would like a Consultant Paediatrician to assess your child's symptoms or explain the results, a separate paid consultation would be required.

The suitability of blood testing for babies and younger children will be assessed before an appointment is confirmed.

How Much Do Combined Blood Tests Cost?

The total cost depends on the blood test profile selected and whether you choose a consultation or phlebotomy-only appointment.

The cost of your chosen laboratory blood test profile is additional to the appointment fee.

How Quickly Will I Receive My Results?

MUMS offers rapid access to private blood testing, with many routine results available within a few working days.

Turnaround times vary depending on the tests requested, and some specialist profiles may take longer.

Patients attending a phlebotomy-only appointment will receive their laboratory report by email once available.

Patients booking a consultation and testing will have their results reviewed and explained by their clinician, in accordance with the appointment pathway.
