Where would I go for a blood test?
Randox Health Cheadle — around three miles from the town centre, which makes Stockport the closest place we cover to a collection point.
In practice that means the whole pathway is quick here: consultation, sample the next day, results reviewed within a few days.
And a scan?
Vista Health's South East Manchester diagnostic centre at Crownpoint Shopping Park, Denton — also close.
Ask about the NHS wait before paying, and about Right to Choose, which lets you select a different NHS provider at no cost.
Do you cover the whole borough?
Yes — Bramhall, Cheadle Hulme, Hazel Grove, Marple, Romiley, Reddish, Heaton Moor, Woodford and Offerton.
Stockport contains a wide range of circumstances across short distances, and a remote service is the same price and the same appointment wherever in the borough you are.
Can you review results I already have?
Yes — from the NHS App, another private provider, or a home testing kit.
Send them in advance with the reference ranges visible. It is frequently more useful than buying another panel, and considerably cheaper.
Can I get an appointment outside working hours?
Yes — 6am to 10pm, seven days a week. With this many people commuting into Manchester, an appointment that fits either end of the day is usually the only workable one.
Can you send a prescription to my usual pharmacy?
Yes — electronically, to whichever you choose. You collect it; nothing is posted.
And where something is cheaper over the counter than a prescription charge, we will tell you.
What can you not do?
Examine you — no blood pressure, no chest, no joints, no internal examinations.
And we never prescribe opioids or stimulants remotely, nor benzodiazepines or z-drugs for ongoing use.
Is there a Stockport clinic?
No — the service is entirely remote, with no premises anywhere. The nearby Randox site is a partner collection point, not our clinic.
