Health screening

Health screening

Health screening is a great way of getting a snapshot of your current health status. Most people are interested in doing tests to identify any abnormalities so that they can correct them at an early stage before they become serious. However, the greatest benefit is in doing these tests in combination with an overall health assessment by an experienced physician. The real utility of health screening then comes in the follow up appointment when you will get invaluable evidence-based advice on how to optimise your health.

We offer a number of health screening packages to get an all-round view of your health.

• Urine chemistry
• A follow up appointment to discuss the results and give lifestyle advice and need for any supplements or medication

Gold screening package £995

• Silver screening package plus:
• Electrocardiogram (ECG)
• Chest x-ray
• Abdominal and pelvic ultrasound scan

Can other tests be done?

You may request other tests to be done at the time of the initial consultation, or I may suggest tests that may also be useful in addition to the standard health screens. There is an extra charge for these.

Do you need to fast for the tests?

Usually fasting is not required for the health screen. However, fasting can offer extra information from the tests concerning your heart health.
