Three core panels covering the areas most worth keeping an eye on when you train intensively, from one blood draw.
Full blood count
FBC + Platelets. A complete blood count with platelets, covering red and white cells and clotting.
Liver and cholesterol
LFT Panel, Lipogram. Liver function and your cholesterol balance, both worth tracking with intensive training.

What people say
Friendly and competent staff. Both at reception and the nurse. A much simpler process than going through doctors. Thank you ladies.
The staff at reception as well as the nurses are friendly and professional. I've also always received results timeously. I would give 10 stars if I could.
Highly highly highly recommend. The experience was painless and the practice was inviting and well kept. The report was extremely detailed and informative and I would have this as top of my list for preventive care.
Amazing experience, highly professional staff. Very reasonable prices. Highly recommend.
I cannot recommend Juliette and her team enough, friendly and kind from the get go. Bloods were drawn with minimal discomfort and the labs came back quickly.
Excellent experience at Epicentre. The staff were professional, kind, and took time to explain everything clearly. The facility was clean, booking was easy, and I did not feel rushed.
What this does not do
A broad panel is a snapshot. It flags areas to look at; it does not diagnose anything on its own.
- Results are a screen, not a diagnosis; values outside range need follow-up with a doctor.
- This panel does not assess heart fitness or muscle injury directly.
- If you use any supplements or medicines, mention them when you discuss your results.
- A normal panel does not rule out every issue; some problems need other tests.
- If you feel unwell, see a doctor rather than waiting for a routine panel.
