Thank you for visiting Oxford Screening. We offer a medically-led health screening service for the public with a difference. We bring important new screening tests direct to your door so you do not need to visit your doctor. Results are sent to your home and medical advice is standard. We remind you annually by email when screening tests are due to be repeated as the protection from disease by screening depends on regular testing. Oxford Screening specialises in home tests that you perform in your own home and either read the results of the test yourself or tests where you take the sample yourself then post it to us for processing. For tests returned to us we offer rapid testing and emailing of results generally within 24-48 hours of receiving samples (not for Gold tests).The home tests include tests for: underactive / overactive thyroid gland (TSH test) - are you tired and lethargic and don't know why? A simple finger prick blood sample is all that is needed for this test. You can take the sample yourself at home and then send the sample to us for testing. There is no need to visit your doctor. We will help you to interpret your results. The TSH level is high if the thyroid is underactive. This test is recommended by the American Thyroid Association for screening for thyroid disorders.
