Thyroid Function Blood Test
Who Can Use the Service
This service is suitable for individuals experiencing symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, hair loss, or mood fluctuations. It is ideal for those with suspected thyroid imbalance or monitoring an existing condition. A healthcare professional will assess symptoms and history before testing.

The service includes a consultation and blood sample collection to measure thyroid hormones such as TSH, T3, and T4. Results are explained clearly with personalised insights. Further advice 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, ease of booking, and professional support. It provides an efficient and accessible way to monitor thyroid 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.
