Who takes your sample

Every blood sample at NORR is taken by Agnes Swit, a Registered General Nurse. Not a technician, not a machine — a nurse, in a private room, in 10 to 15 minutes. If a vein is difficult, that experience is the difference between one attempt and four.

Agnes has run her clinic in Waterford since 2018, at 40–44 Patrick Street.

More about Agnes

How it works

  1. Choose your profile. Fifteen profiles, grouped by what they look at. If you are not sure which one fits, call the clinic and Agnes will talk it through with you.
  2. Book your appointment. Blood draws run Monday to Friday, 8:30–12:30. Come fasted if you can — no food for 8 to 12 hours before, water is fine.
  3. Give your sample. 10 to 15 minutes, in a private room at Patrick Street. Samples go to Eurofins Biomnis the same day.
  4. Get your results. From 24 hours. Collect them in person, or have them sent to you by email. You can add a doctor review for €45 if you want a clinician to go through them with you.

Full step-by-step

Choose a test profile

Health Profiles

Seven profiles that look at the whole picture at once: heart, liver, kidneys, blood sugar, blood count and, at the higher levels, bone health, inflammation and iron. If you want one test a year that covers the ground, it is one of these.

Hormones and Fertility

Hormone panels covering cycle, energy, mood, libido and reproductive health. For the Female Hormone and Fertility profiles, call the clinic before you book — the day of your cycle changes how the results read, and Agnes will pick the right one with you.

Single Panels

Cholesterol, liver, kidneys or iron on their own. Useful when you are tracking something specific over time rather than screening broadly.

Metabolic

Screening for diabetes, prediabetes and insulin resistance, including the markers a standard glucose test on its own will miss.


Add a doctor review — €45

A set of results is a list of numbers. If you want someone to go through them with you, NORR works with an independent doctor who reviews your results on a private video consultation. Where it is clinically appropriate, the doctor can issue a prescription or a referral.

Agnes is a nurse and does not interpret results or diagnose. That is what the doctor review is for.

How the doctor review works

Common questions

Do I need a referral from my GP?

No. You book directly with the clinic. If you would like your GP to have a copy of your results, ask and we will send them.

Do I need to fast?

Fasting is recommended for all profiles. No food for 8 to 12 hours before your appointment — water is fine, and you should keep drinking it. Morning appointments make this easier, which is part of why draws run 8:30–12:30.

How long does the appointment take?

10 to 15 minutes.

When do I get my results?

From 24 hours after your sample reaches the laboratory. Some markers take longer; if yours is one of them, Agnes will tell you at the appointment.

How are results sent to me?

You can collect them in person at the clinic, or have them emailed to you. Results are health information, so email delivery is sent as a password-protected file with the password given to you separately.

Can you tell me what my results mean?

Agnes can tell you what each marker measures and whether a value sits inside the laboratory’s reference range. She cannot diagnose — she is a nurse, not a doctor. For an interpretation, book the €45 doctor review.

I want a hormone profile. Which day of my cycle?

Call the clinic before you book and Agnes will pick the day with you. If your cycle is irregular, or you are not cycling, say so — that is common and it is worked around, not a reason to skip the test.

Do you take bloods from children?

Not at the moment. NORR takes blood samples from adults only — 18 and over. If you need a test for a child, your GP or a paediatric service is the place to go.

Which laboratory analyses the samples?

Eurofins Biomnis, an accredited clinical laboratory operating in Ireland.

Where do I go?

40–44 Patrick Street, Waterford. Blood draws are Waterford only, Monday to Friday, 8:30–12:30.
