Hi there, you can get it done at Genova Diagnostics - Parkgate House - 356 West Barnes Lane - New Malden - Surrey - KT3 6NB - Phone number 0208 336 7750. Email : Kit orders@gdx.net - Website - www.gdx.uk.net. You should also go on to - Thyroid Uk, as they have a list of where you can go and if you say they recommended you then they get a donation and i think you also get a discount (not quite sure on that one) but Thyroid Uk, is a brilliant site to look up as they do so much to help everyone with Thyroid illness, they are campaigning all the time on our behalf. I hope this helps and good luck with getting well soon. God bless.

Found your post because am looking for a saliva test for thyroid function myself. I spoke to the Red Apple Clinic about half an hour ago and they no longer do them. Genova only do blood tests I think. LMk if you find anything!

All best

hi raccow; what a good job you contacted me; its not thyroid but adrenal function that they check for with saliva, which is an important indicator of the total picture i think. Im new to all this.......
They confirmed that they dont do a saliva thyroid function test.

I'm going to take another look at Genova in light of rosetrees' post but have also been looking at the basal temperature test - simple, free and apparently a quite reliable indicator of thyroid function.
