Medical Screening (A full body MOT)

The earlier a condition is spotted, the easier it is to treat. We offer a comprehensive medical screening looking at over 50 markers in the blood, plus other tests and a head to toe physical examination. This is a full body check-up designed to have once a year or at least every 2 years.  There is an under 60s and over 60s screening available and both have the option to choose some additional tests or scans to tailor make the perfect medical screening for you.

Our comprehensive medical screening provides a thorough assessment of your whole body

 The screening is designed to do the following:

There is an Under 60s and Over 60s Comprehensive Medical Screening. You are free to choose the one you prefer. The screenings will detect common medical problems including:

The Comprehensive medical screening is made up of two appointments.

Part One is a 40-50 minute appointment with a nurse and Part Two is a 40 minute appointment with a doctor of your choice on another day.

Additional tests you can add to your Comprehensive Medical Screening

B12 and Folate (B12f) Blood Test - £49

Choose this test if you have certain symptoms - please click on "see more" for further information

Doctors will normally only recommend a B12f test if you have already had a blood test and it shows you have anaemia (lack of red blood cells). However, if you follow a vegan or vegetarian diet or you have any symptoms of neuropathy then you may like to select a B12f blood test as an addition to the other tests in your screening. Symptoms of neuropathy are as follows:

 A deficiency in B12 and Folate can can also cause the following symptoms:

Advanced Cardiovascular Risk Blood Tests - £59

Choose this test for additional peace of mind or if you have a family history of heart attacks or strokes

It has now been proven that a high level of Lipoprotein (a) can increase your chances of a heart attack or stroke (a cardiac event). Unfortunately, a high level of lipoprotein (a) is caused by genetics and is not linked to diet and exercise. Therefore, you can be very fit and healthy and have the perfect cholesterol, but your chances of a cardiac event as you get older are still increased.

If is is discovered you have a higher level of lipoprotein (a) than normal, then we will advise a strict risk reduction plan to prevent a cardiac problem in the future.

High-sensitivity c-reactive protein (hsCRP) is a marker of inflammation. A high level of this in the blood has been linked to heart attacks. Also, people who have had a heart attack are more likely to have another heart attack if they have a high (hs-CRP) level.

You may like to choose the high risk cardiovascular blood tests if you have a family history of heart attacks and strokes, or you have had a heart attack in the past or you would just like additional peace of mind.

Cervical Screening, Smear Test – Two Options Available - £63 - £126

Choose a smear test if you have not had one in the last 3 years or you have had abnormal cells detected in the past and would like the cells checked again (option 2)

OPTION 1£63 – In the NHS this type of smear test is the only one routinely offered. The test will only screen for the presence of the HPV virus. If this is detected then the cytology (checking the cells) will be carried out to see if there are any abnormal cells present. Evidence shows HPV testing is a more effective way to identify women at risk of cervical cancer. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common virus transmitted through sexual contact. Certain sub-types of HPV are linked to the development of abnormal cells and can cause cervical cancer.  Please note, if HPV is detected by the lab, then the cytology will be carried out free of charge.

OPTION 2£126 – If you would like the Cytology (checking of the cells) carried out regardless of whether you have a negative or positive HPV result, then you can request to have both tested at the same time. 

This test offers more peace of mind for women who have had abnormal cells detected in the past.

Ovarian Cancer Marker (CA125) Blood Test - £44

Choose this test for additional peace of mind or you have a family history of ovarian cancer.

This blood test checks for raised levels of a protein called CA125. It is normal to have some CA125 in the blood, but levels may be higher  A raised reading might be caused by other problems than cancer but would lead to further investigations to exclude cancer.

A Vascular Screening Package Using Ultrasound - £165

Choose this test for additional peace of mind or if you have a family history of heart attacks strokes or aneurysms

This is a package of scans used to detect vascular disease. The vascular scientist is an HCPC registered Clinical Scientist & has 35 years experience working in the NHS and in private practice. The investigations include:

A Screening for over 70 types of cancer using the Trucheck blood test - £1200

Trucheck™ is a revolutionary test, based on a simple blood draw, for the early detection of multiple types of early stage cancer in asymptomatic Individuals
