Service Type: Wellness & Private Blood Tests

TMB provides private blood testing and selected screening services. Available tests and panels may change, so check the current information on our website or ask the booking team. 

Please follow the appropriate booking process for your chosen TMB clinic, as outlined on www.tmb.ie, or contact the TMB team by phone or email for assistance. 

When booking, please let us know which blood test or screening service you require so that we can arrange the appropriate appointment for you. 

Please note that TMB does not provide blood testing services for children. 

Routine blood screening can generally be booked directly with a nurse. Specialist services such as pre-departure, post-travel or Zika-related screening require a doctor. 

Yes. New and returning patients can book routine blood screening directly, subject to service availability and age. We currently do not provide blood screening for patients under 18 years old. 

A routine blood screen is a nurse appointment for selected laboratory tests. Pre-departure, post-travel and other specialist screens include a medical assessment and must be booked with the appropriate doctor. 

A routine blood test appointment is usually short, often about 10 to 20 minutes. Allow extra time for check-in or if a medical consultation is also required. 

Preparation depends on the test. Follow the instructions provided when booking and do not fast unless TMB or the requesting clinician tells you to. 

Do not stop or change medication unless a clinician has advised you to do so. Tell TMB what you are taking and follow any test-specific instructions. 

Bring the name of the test or panel booked, any relevant request or referral information, and a current medication list if it may affect the test or interpretation. 

Routine blood samples are normally taken by a trained nurse or other appropriately qualified clinical professional. 

Turnaround times depend on the laboratory test. The clinic can provide an estimated timeframe, but some tests may take longer or require another sample. 

Available results can be accessed through myTMB. If you cannot view them, contact the clinic so the team can check the status and arrange appropriate clinical follow-up. 

Contact your clinic for help with access. For privacy, TMB may ask you to confirm your identity before updating details or restoring access. 

Test results are shared securely through the myTMB patient portal. Once a new result is available, you will receive an automated email notification and can securely view or download the document through the portal. 

We do not routinely call when results are available. However, our medical team may contact you if the test results or if another sample is required. 

If your result is not available within the timeframe provided, please check myTMB or contact the clinic directly. 

No. Reception cannot interpret or disclose vaccine records, blood results or laboratory findings by phone. These are provided securely or discussed by the clinical team. 

TMB provides patient-led blood testing services. Before taking a test, we ask all patients to commit to sharing their results with their own GP, who is usually best placed to provide ongoing advice because they know the patient’s wider medical history. 

Alternatively, a patient can book a Screening Consultation with a TMB doctor to discuss their results or concerns. This consultation can help interpret the results and guide the patient as necessary. 

Please note that the TMB doctor will not prescribe medications or make referrals to other specialists as part of this service. 

Yes, particularly if a result is outside the expected range, relates to symptoms or needs follow-up. Your GP can interpret it alongside your medical history and other care. 

Contact the clinic if the result is not available within the expected timeframe. The team will check whether the laboratory needs more time, information or a repeat sample. 

QuantiFERON is a blood test used to identify possible exposure to tuberculosis (TB). The result may need to be reviewed with the person or organisation that requested the test. 

QuantiFERON appointments are normally arranged before 12 noon, because the sample must be transported to the laboratory on the same day. 

No. TMB does not currently provide Mantoux testing; QuantiFERON is the TB exposure test offered as an alternative. 

Yes. Results form part of your confidential medical record and are accessed through secure channels after identity checks. 

For patients aged 16 or over, TMB normally needs the patient’s direct request or clear consent. A parent or guardian may act for a patient under 16. 

No. Laboratory tests are charged at set prices. Current pricing information is available on our website. Confirm the current price and any eligibility when booking. 

Please add this as a note on your medical intake form so the doctor and nurse are made aware before your appointment. As always, our staff will do everything they can to support you through the process. The team can position you in a way that helps keep you safe, allow extra time where needed and monitor you before you leave. 

No.  A blood test provides laboratory information, but symptoms, abnormal results and ongoing health concerns should be assessed by your GP or another appropriate clinician.
