Preventative health assessment

The assessment begins with a conversation, not a blood draw. What gets tested depends on your age, your family history, your work, and what you actually want to know.

Everything happens in one visit: consultation, testing, and a results conversation with the clinician who chose the tests. You leave with a written plan and a date for the next review.

Who it is for

A first baseline, usually from the mid-thirties onwards
A family history you would like properly accounted for
Annual review for an existing plan
Anyone who wants fewer, better-chosen tests rather than more of them

What to expect

Planning call
A short call beforehand decides what is worth testing and what is not.
On the day
Two to three hours: consultation, examination and testing in one visit.
Results
Explained the same day, in person, by the clinician who ordered them.
The year after
A written plan, a review date and a named clinician to contact.

How to prepare

Fasting instructions are sent with your confirmation
Bring family history details, including ages at diagnosis where known
Wear comfortable clothing and bring something to change into for testing
Allow the full half day rather than booking around it
