Liver Function Blood Test
Who Can Use the Service
This service is suitable for adults experiencing symptoms like fatigue, jaundice, or digestive issues, or those monitoring liver health. It is ideal for individuals with risk factors such as alcohol use, medications, or existing conditions. A healthcare professional will assess history before testing.
What the Service Includes
The service includes a consultation and blood sample collection to measure key liver enzymes and proteins. Results are explained clearly with insights into liver function. Further advice, lifestyle guidance, or referral may be provided if needed.
Why People Choose This Service From a Pharmacy
Pharmacies offer quick and convenient access to testing without long waiting times. Patients value privacy, easy appointments, and professional support. It provides an efficient and accessible way to monitor liver health.
The Pharmacy First service builds on the NHS Community Pharmacist Consultation Service which has run since October 2019. The consultation service enables patients to be referred into community pharmacy for a minor illness or an urgent repeat medicine supply.
