Before a clinician will start or adjust testosterone replacement, hormone optimisation, or peptide therapy, they need recent bloodwork. A good baseline panel makes treatment safer and lets you track progress over time. This page compares the UK's leading private and at-home blood-test providers so you can get tested before — or alongside — choosing a clinic.

Baseline testing confirms whether treatment is appropriate, gives your prescriber the numbers they need to dose safely, and creates a reference point for monitoring. Most reputable TRT, hormone, and peptide clinics will not prescribe without recent results.
If you already know your goal, you can line up bloods now and bring the results to a consultation. Compare TRT clinics in the UK, UK peptide clinics, or get matched with a verified clinic.

A baseline blood test establishes your starting hormone, metabolic, and general-health markers so a clinician can confirm whether treatment is appropriate, dose safely, and monitor for changes. Reputable TRT, hormone, and peptide clinics require recent bloods before prescribing.
A thorough male baseline usually covers total and free testosterone, SHBG, LH, FSH, oestradiol, prolactin, full blood count, lipids, HbA1c, liver and kidney function, and PSA where relevant. Your clinician will advise exactly what they need; many providers offer ready-made hormone or TRT panels.
For many hormone and wellness markers, validated at-home finger-prick kits are accurate when collected correctly, and results are typically reviewed by a doctor. Some panels or follow-ups are better done by venous (nurse) draw — the providers below offer both options.
Monitoring schedules vary, but it is common to retest a few weeks after starting or changing a dose, then periodically once stable. Always follow the schedule your prescribing clinician sets.
