That’s why we offer a calm, child-friendly environment for paediatric blood testing in our Edgbaston clinic.

Whether your child needs a blood test for a known condition, symptoms you’re concerned about, or a routine check, we’re here to guide you every step of the way, with compassion, clarity, and clinical expertise.

Why Might a Child Need a Blood Test?

Children may need a blood test to help diagnose, monitor, or rule out certain conditions. Reasons might include:

• Ongoing tiredness or fatigue

• Frequent infections or poor immunity

• Concerns around growth or development

• Suspected allergies or food intolerances

• Nutritional deficiencies (e.g. iron, B12)

• Hormone imbalances

• Diabetes or thyroid concerns

• Unexplained symptoms such as bruising, skin changes, or weight loss
