Full Blood Count Blood Test in Cork

Our Full Blood Count (FBC) blood test measures your red cells, white cells, platelets and haemoglobin levels. It gives us a clear picture of your overall health and helps identify issues such as anaemia, infection or inflammation.

We recommend an FBC if you’ve been feeling unusually tired, experiencing frequent infections, noticing unexplained bruising or if your doctor has advised blood testing. Many clients also book the test as part of a general health check.

Our clinicians take a small sample of blood from a vein in your arm. The process is quick and typically completed in just a few minutes.

No fasting is needed for a Full Blood Count blood test alone. If you book additional tests that require fasting, we will let you know in advance.
