Cholesterol Check

A cholesterol (lipid) panel is a simple blood test that evaluates your cardiovascular health by measuring key fats in the blood—such as total cholesterol, HDL (“good”), LDL (“bad”), and triglycerides.

After a brief consultation, this test may be offered in‑store, with results helping you understand your risk for heart-related conditions and guiding any necessary follow‑up or lifestyle advice.

What the test covers

Complete Cholesterol Profile

Our cholesterol profile uses a simple finger‑prick sample to measure six key biomarkers: total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, the HDL:LDL ratio, and non‑HDL cholesterol. The test is quick and minimally invasive. After sampling, a trained technician reviews your results with you, placing them in context of your age, family history and lifestyle. We explain what each biomarker means for your cardiovascular risk and advise on immediate lifestyle measures, medication discussions, and when to contact your GP for further assessment. A printed summary can be provided to share with your healthcare provider.

The test measures total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, the HDL:LDL ratio and non‑HDL cholesterol to give a comprehensive lipid profile.
Do I need to fast before the test?
Fasting is not usually required for an initial cholesterol check, though fasting can give a more accurate triglyceride reading. Follow any pre‑appointment guidance provided when booking.
How long will I wait for results?
Results are typically available within 15–30 minutes. The pharmacist or technician will review and explain your results during the appointment.
Who interprets my results?
Trained pharmacy staff will explain your results and advise on lifestyle steps; if values are high we can recommend a GP referral for further assessment or treatment.
Is the test confidential?
