Blood Tests Chester: Countess of Chester Blood Test - Faster Alternative! - FAQs
What time does the Countess of Chester blood test department open?
The hospital’s GP Blood Department is based in the 1829 Building at the Countess of Chester Health Park. According to local GP guidance, it operates Monday–Thursday 08:30–16:00 (last appointment 15:30) and is closed on Fridays. A clinician must request your test, and you need to book in advance.
What are blood test codes?
Blood tests often use abbreviations. Some common ones include:
ALT/AST (Alanine and Aspartate Aminotransferase) – liver enzymes; high levels may signal liver disease.
CRP (CReactive Protein) – indicates inflammation.
ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) – another marker of inflammation.
FBC or CBC (Full/Complete Blood Count) – counts red and white blood cells, haemoglobin and platelets.
HbA1c (Haemoglobin A1c) – measures average blood glucose over three months.
HDL/LDL – measures ‘good’ and ‘bad’ cholesterol.
INR (International Normalised Ratio) – assesses blood clotting time.
PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) – screens prostate health.
TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) – part of a thyroid function test, measuring how your thyroid is working.
Your report will define any codes used and provide reference ranges; our team can discuss them with you.
What is a full blood test to “check everything”?
There’s no single test that checks absolutely everything. Healthcare providers often call a “full blood test” a comprehensive panel consisting of several tests. It usually includes a full blood count (to assess red and white blood cells and platelets), kidney and liver function tests, lipid profile (cholesterol and triglycerides), thyroid function tests and blood sugar markers like HbA1c. Such panels can detect conditions like anaemia, infections, organ dysfunctions and vitamin deficiencies. At Easy Medical Centre, we offer comprehensive health screens that cover 60+ biomarkers, giving you an in-depth overview of your health.
Can I walk in for a blood test or do I need to fast?
Our Chester clinic accepts walkins when slots are available, but we recommend booking ahead to guarantee availability. Fasting requirements depend on the test: some tests (like cholesterol and fasting glucose) require fasting for 8–12 hours, whereas others do not. We’ll advise you when you book. For hospital tests at the Countess of Chester, you must have a GP referral and prebook an appointment.
Can I go for a walk before a blood test?
Light activity such as walking is generally fine before a blood test, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for 24 hours, as it may affect results.
What’s the best time of day for a blood test?
Many blood tests are best done in the morning, ideally before 10 a.m., because some hormones and biomarkers follow circadian rhythms and results are most accurate after an overnight fast.
