Spire Manchester Hospital in the Northwest region, offers a wide range of private blood tests and investigations including blood type or blood group tests. Speak to your GP if you would like a private blood type or blood group test and ask for a referral to Spire Manchester Hospital. Alternatively please contact us for more information about blood type or blood testing.
There are four basic groups of blood types – A, B, AB and O and each of these will be either positive or negative (rhesus) – for example O rhesus positive.
A simple blood test, which is analysed in our laboratories, will identify your blood type. Knowing your blood type is important for certain types of profession, travelling to certain countries, and if you ever need a blood transfusion.
