Comprehensive Health Screening

Complete Health Check for £239 (Original price £450!).

Our Doctors have put together the most comprehensive private health screening on offer to any adult in London. They have made sure that all appropriate blood tests and physical examinations are included in the screen that they would want to do on themselves or on their families. If you would like a complete full body MOT check, then this would be suitable for you. In order to maximise your health outcomes, we would recommend you do this screen once per year. You service your car annually, so why not your body!

PLEASE NOTE – This is a ‘WELL PERSON’ Screen. If you are ill, please book a separate appointment with a GP.

What is included in a Private Health Screening London?

Screening Bloods (fasting venous blood test) –

• Full Blood Count (FBC) – Analysis of your haemoglobin, white cell count with differential, platelet count and more. This screening test is to check if you may have anaemia, a malfunctioning immune system or an underlying myeloproliferative (neoplastic) disorder.
• Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) – This screening test checks you for acute and chronic inflammation including infections, cancers and autoimmune diseases.
• Kidney Function (U&E’s) – Analysis of your sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, urea, creatinine and eGFR. This is a full screen of your kidney function to ensure that you do not have chronic kidney disease which many people discover too late.
• Liver Function (LFT) – Analysis of your bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, aspartate transferase, alanine transferase and gamma GT. This is a full screen of your liver function to make sure you do not have any underlying disorders like hepatitis or fatty liver damage or some forms of cancer.
• Creatine Kinase (CK) – This screens for muscle damage caused by exercise and some medications. Occasionally it can also indicate muscle damage in the heart.
• Total Protein, Albumin and Globulin – This screens for chronic inflammation/ infection or a bone marrow disorder.
• Calcium (including corrected) and Phosphate (Bone Screen) – This screens to see if you have any bone disease or other underlying disorders such as parathyroid disorders or some forms of cancer.
• Vitamin D (25-OH) – One of the most important screening tests. A low vitamin D has not only been associated with bone and muscle disorders, but also poor quality skin, heart, kidneys and brain function.
• Active B12 and Folic acid – Low Vitamin B12 and folate can be associated with increased lethargy and weakness. Screening for this can indicate an underlying bowel disorder which needs further investigation.
• Uric acid (Gout) – This tests for gout (especially in men and postmenopausal women). It is an important screening test as there is evidence of increased cardiac risk with high levels of uric acid.
• Fasting Glucose and HbA1c (Diabetes check) – A very important screening check for diabetes or pre-diabetes. Many people don’t know they are pre-diabetic and knowing this can allow them to make the lifestyle changes to reverse this before they become diabetic.
• Fasting Cholesterol (Lipid Profile) – Analysis of your total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL and non-HDL cholesterol. This is a full lipid profile check that looks for ‘good’ and ‘bad’ cholesterol. Screening for this will ensure you can keep an eye on the balance and alter your lifestyle to minimise the risk of cardiovascular events occurring.
• TSH and Free T4 – An important screening test to check for an underactive or an overactive endocrine gland. Abnormalities here can cause weight gain, dry skin, tiredness, menstrual irregularities, bowel abnormalities and hair loss.

Screening Physical Examination –

• General Examination – Height, weight and BMI (body mass index). This allows the GP to assess if your weight is appropriate for your height and if you need to make lifesyle changes to optimise your health.
• Cardiovascular Examination – Pulse rate and rhythm [to check if you have an arrhythmia]. Blood pressure [to check if you have hypertension]. Heart sound auscultation [to check you do not have a heart valve abnormality, heart failure or pericarditis].
• Respiratory Examination – Respiratory Rate [to check for respiratory distress]. Chest examination [to check you do not have a chest infection, lung fibrosis or heart failure].
• Abdominal Examination – Abdominal palpation [to check your liver, spleen, kidneys, bowel sounds and look for any masses]. Urine dipstick test [look for urine infections, kidney issues, glucose and cancer].

Discussion with GP –

Depending on what is found on your physical examination, the GP will discuss if anything further needs to be done and will discuss lifestyle changes you may need to make. Once the blood results have come back from the laboratory, a GP will review your results and inform you if anything further needs to be done by writing comments on your results, which is then emailed to you.
