How it works

Common questions

What is the metric to imperial body measurement converter?

Unit maths only. Same quantity, different label.

Which unit does the NHS use?

UK lab letters often use SI units. Keep the original unit on the printout as well as the conversion.

Can I treat the converted number as a target?

No. Conversion does not change meaning. Ask the clinician who ordered the test.
