Blood Tests in Kildare
The Health Lab's Kildare clinic at Life Pharmacy Kill provides private blood testing for preventive health screening, investigation and ongoing monitoring. Many tests can be booked directly without a GP referral, while we also carry out tests requested by healthcare professionals and treatment-monitoring bloods. The clinic is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 3pm, with most routine results available within two working days.
Trusted by over 8,000 users across Ireland, we've teamed up with accredited laboratories to provide world-leading blood tests in easy-to-access locations like pharmacies and fitness centres. Kill is where it all works hardest for you: a familiar local pharmacy, weekday-long availability, and testing on your schedule rather than somebody else's.
Open Five Days a Week at Life Pharmacy, Kill
You'll find us inside Life Pharmacy in Kill village, just off the N7 between Naas and the Dublin border. Days: Monday to Friday. Times: 9am to 3pm. Contact: Mark at info@thehealthlab.ie or 089 439 6304. Full details for all our clinics are on the locations page.
That weekday availability matters more than it sounds. Miss a Monday? Come Tuesday. Need a fasting test but can't face an early alarm? A 9am slot after a normal night's sleep works fine. Commuting to Dublin? Kill sits right on your route, minutes off the N7, so a test slots into the working day instead of eating a morning off.
Direct-Access and Clinician-Requested Testing
Around Kildare, most blood testing still runs through GP practices, which usually means booking a doctor's appointment first, paying for that visit, then waiting for results to come back through the surgery, sometimes up to two weeks. If your GP orders your bloods for a medical reason, that's exactly the right route.
Many routine screening and monitoring tests can be booked directly. If a doctor or other healthcare professional has requested specific bloods, you can use their request to select the corresponding test or contact our team to confirm availability.
But if you simply want to check your own health, you can. With us, you choose the test, book it directly, and your results come straight to you, most within 2 working days, in a clear report you can keep or bring to your GP. Curious how the whole journey works? It's laid out step by step on our how it works page.

Serving Naas, Newbridge and the Commuter Belt
Kill's position makes our clinic genuinely convenient for most of north and east Kildare. Clients come from Naas, Sallins, Johnstown, Newbridge, Clane, Celbridge, Maynooth, Kilcock and Kilcullen, and because we're moments off the N7, plenty travel from Rathcoole, Saggart and Citywest on the Dublin side too. Parking at the pharmacy is easy, and the village is a two minute detour from the motorway.
Closer to the city? Our Dublin clinic in Kimmage runs four mornings a week, and every location is listed on our locations page.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
A pharmacy setting keeps things simple and familiar. Arrive at your booked time, and a pharmacist- or nurse-led team takes your sample in a private consultation room, carried out to the highest clinical standards. Allow 15 minutes for the appointment itself; the draw takes far less. Your sample then goes to our accredited lab partners for analysis, and your results are sent directly to you.
If needles aren't your favourite thing, say so when you arrive. The team handles nervous clients every single day and will keep everything calm, quick and matter-of-fact.
Blood Testing That Fits Working Life
Because we run five days a week, Kill has quietly become the clinic our clients build routines around. Shift workers book whichever weekday falls free. Parents come after the school run. Teams and small businesses along the N7 corridor arrange annual checks for staff across a normal week instead of squeezing everyone into one morning. And anyone repeating a test to track a flagged marker, iron, cholesterol, thyroid, can rebook at the same time of day for a fair comparison, something a once-a-week clinic can't always offer.
It's a small structural thing with a big practical payoff: testing stops being an event you plan around and becomes an errand you simply run.
Getting Ready and Reading Your Results
Preparation is light. Drink plenty of water the day before and the morning of your visit, keep alcohol and heavy training out of the previous evening, and take regular medications as normal unless advised otherwise. If your test needs fasting, your test page will say so, typically 8 to 12 hours with water allowed; a 9am slot makes that painless.
When your report lands, every biomarker sits alongside its laboratory reference range, so you can see immediately what's in shape and what deserves a closer look. One slightly-off number isn't a verdict; sleep, hydration and recent illness all nudge results. The pattern over time is what counts, which is why many Kildare clients rebook the same test every year and watch the trend.
An isolated out-of-range result does not necessarily indicate disease and should be interpreted in context. Repeat testing can be useful for monitoring changes over time, while abnormal or clinically significant findings should be discussed with an appropriate healthcare professional.
Anything flagged? Bring the report to your GP; it's clear, complete and easy to act on. Don't have a GP, or want a second opinion? You'll find our links with nutritionists, doctors and dieticians on our partners page. And for more on what bloods can and can't tell you, have a read of the blog.
We also offer at home tests delivered anywhere in Kildare, and gift cards that cover any test we run, a genuinely useful present for someone who keeps putting their health check off.
