Health Screening in Cork
A full health check shouldn't mean months on a waiting list. The Health Lab offers private health screening in Cork every Friday at Therapy Hub Cork, Hazelwood Shopping Centre, Glanmire. Choose a screening package, book online in minutes, and have your results back within 2 working days, all without a GP referral.
We believe blood testing is a crucial component to monitoring and improving health. Feeling fine isn't the same as being fine. High cholesterol, thyroid issues, low iron and early diabetes markers rarely announce themselves, and a regular health screen is the most reliable way to catch them early, while they're easiest to act on.
Health Screening Packages in Cork
Our screening packages are built around accredited laboratory testing, the same world-leading analysis trusted by clinics across Ireland. Pick the depth that suits you:
Standard Blood Test (€90). A 35 biomarker health check covering full blood count, liver and kidney function, cholesterol and more. The right choice for a routine annual check.
Signature Blood Test (€250). Our best value screening package, created after lengthy consultations with our customers. It adds the markers people ask about most, from iron status to inflammation.
Platinum Blood Test (€450). The most complete health screen we offer, analysing 102 biomarkers. Ideal if you want a genuinely thorough picture of your health in a single appointment.
You can also add focused checks such as a Thyroid Function Test, a Hormone Health Blood Test or a Ferritin Blood Test if there's a specific area you'd like covered. The full menu is on our booking page.
Who Should Book a Health Check?
Anyone who wants answers rather than guesses. Our Cork clients include people in their 20s, 30s and 40s starting a yearly screening habit, athletes and gym-goers tracking recovery and performance, people with a family history of heart disease or diabetes, and anyone who has noticed tiredness, weight changes or low energy and wants to know why.
A health screen is also a smart move before starting a new training block or nutrition plan. You'll have a baseline to measure real progress against, not just how you feel week to week.
Your Screening Appointment in Glanmire
Your health check takes place at Therapy Hub Cork in Hazelwood Shopping Centre, Glanmire, with free parking on site. Clinics run every Friday from 7:45am to 12:45pm. Contact Deirdre at dee@thehealthlab.ie or 089 439 6304 with any questions, and see our locations page for full clinic details.
The appointment itself is quick. A pharmacist- or nurse-led team takes your sample in a calm, comfortable setting, usually in under ten minutes. Every appointment is carried out to the highest clinical standards. If your package includes fasting markers, the early morning slots make that simple. You can read about the whole journey, from booking to results, on our how it works page.
What Happens After Your Health Screen?
Your sample goes to one of our accredited lab partners for analysis, and most results are back within 2 working days. Your report shows each marker against its healthy reference range, so you can see at a glance what's on track and what deserves attention.
Many clients share their report with their GP, use it to guide training and nutrition, or simply keep it as a baseline for next year's check. If anything in your results needs a closer look, focused follow-up tests are easy to book, and repeating your screen annually turns a snapshot into a trend you can act on.
Health Screening for Cork Workplaces and Teams
We also work with employers, sports clubs and teams across Cork who want to make screening part of how they look after their people. A block of Friday appointments at our Glanmire clinic is simple to arrange, and staff receive their results privately and directly, exactly as individual clients do. If you'd like to organise screening for a group, contact us and we'll put a plan together around your numbers and schedule.
For individuals, remember that screening pairs naturally with the rest of what we offer: many clients follow up a flagged marker with a focused single test rather than repeating a full panel, which keeps costs sensible and answers specific.
Why Cork Chooses The Health Lab

How to Prepare for Your Health Screen
Good preparation means a report you can trust. Hydrate well the day before, keep alcohol and intense exercise out of the final 24 hours, and if your package includes fasting markers, stick to water only for the window shown on your test page. Take prescribed medication as usual unless told otherwise. On the morning, allow a few minutes to relax before your draw; arriving rushed can raise some markers, and there's no need for that when the clinic is beside free parking.
It's also worth jotting down anything you'd like answers on, whether that's energy levels, sleep, training recovery or a family history you're keeping an eye on. Knowing your reason for screening helps you choose between the Standard, Signature and Platinum packages, and it gives your results context when they arrive.
Screening vs Waiting for Symptoms
Most serious conditions are cheapest and easiest to deal with before they cause symptoms, and bloods are usually where the first clues appear. Cholesterol creeping up over five years, fasting glucose drifting toward pre-diabetes, a thyroid slowly going off track: none of these announce themselves, and all of them show up in a routine screen. Waiting for your body to complain means catching problems late. Screening yearly means catching them early, when a change of habits is often all that's needed.
That's the philosophy behind everything we do, and it's why our packages are priced so a yearly check is genuinely affordable rather than a luxury. Prevention shouldn't cost more than cure.
