What can I expect from this Blood Group Test?
This in-store test will determine your blood group and is called ABO typing. There are 4 main blood groups (types of blood) – A, B, AB, and O. Your blood group is determined by the genes you inherit from your parents and based on which proteins are on the surface of your red blood cells.
Each group can be either RhD positive (+) or RhD negative (-), which means in total there are 8 blood groups. Blood group O is the most common blood group. Almost half of the UK population (48%) has blood group O.
Please note this test has a 2 to 3-day turnaround time.

This category includes full blood counts and blood group testing. A full blood count can be used to check your overall health and can detect a wide range of issues such as infection, anemia, and leukaemia. A blood group test will tell you to which blood group you belong (called ABO typing). Please note that full blood counts and blood group tests can only be done through an in-store appointment and cannot be run on finger prick samples.
