How can i do blood/urine/x-ray tests in uk not going to GP first ?

in my country if i want test blood or x-ray i just go to the clinic, pay and get results with medial interpretation within hours can i do that in uk, or need to schedule appointments with nhs gp and spend days to do the same ?

there are blood and urine tests available like diabetes and pregnancy what you are asking for though you need to either go to an NHS GP or go private.

Go private & pay, if you are that impatient.

In the UK you will have to see a GP to even go private.
If you are really ill we go to the Accident & Emergancy Hospital
department and after being examind they decide whats needed
This service is free.Never herd of the kind of service like
you pay for.

The big advantage of going to a GP first is that you hopefully avoid unnecessary radiation from x-rays that are not needed and appropriate blood tests can be organised, if they are needed at all. Good GPs go through quite a process in GB simply to decide which investigations to carry out.

They learn how to do this in medical school for 6 years, followed by at least another 5 years before they become GPs! Its a good system, don't knock it.

your in our country so u will have to do it our way, unless its an emergency and u can go to A&E

I don't understand why you would want any of the above unless you are ill - and if you ARE ill, why not go to see you local GP?

Some of the replies to your question have been a bit harsh, maybe the language differences makes your question sound more like a demand for these services?

You can pay to go private, but the good thing about our country is that, if you are ill, you don't need to.

Go and see your local GP - Dr Frank above sounds like a decent lad. I wish my GP had his wit and cynicism - LOL!

I agree that some of the replies have been less than helpful..downright arrogant even.
If your are illegal which is one reason i can think of why you may not have a gp to go to then you should go to your nearest walk in centre which is usually located at the nearest A&E hospital...if your symptoms are such that the doctor thinks you need the tests then you will be referred for them.

If it is indeed a matter of feeling the doctor does not believe you then you may have to consider that he is right..but seek a second opinion first.

Doctors in the uk are very busy so as far as i know there is no service here that offers the same as what you describe which seems to be a very impersonal service.

Geting a diagnosis involves not just interpreting biological data but looking at lifestyle and normal health and taking a full history.
