Preventative health
Assessments designed around you, not around a price list
Screening is only useful when it is chosen well. Our assessments start with a conversation about what is worth knowing, and end the same day with a plan you can act on.
A preventative assessment at Larkmoor is a half day in one building: a consultation, the testing chosen for you, and a results conversation with the clinician who ordered it.
What gets tested depends on your age, your history, your work and what you actually want to know. Tests that would not change anything are deliberately left out, and we will tell you which ones those were.
How an assessment runs
One half day, in one building
Planning call
Fifteen minutes on the phone to decide what is worth testing and what is not.
The visit
Consultation, examination and testing in one half day, in one building.
Results, the same day
Explained in person by the clinician who chose the tests.
The year after
A written plan, a review date, and a named clinician to contact.
Three assessments
Choose by circumstance, not by tier
The names describe who each one suits. Nothing is upsold in the room, and the planning call may well recommend the shorter one.
Extended
For a significant family history, or a first assessment later in life.
- Everything in the baseline assessment
- Cardiac and respiratory testing at Wharfside
- Imaging where the planning call identifies a reason
- Review appointment at three months
Annual review
For patients with an existing plan and a previous baseline.
- Focused testing against last year's plan
- Forty-five-minute review consultation
- Updated written plan and monitoring schedule
- Direct access to your named clinician for the year
Indicative demonstration prices. The exact fee is confirmed at the planning call, before anything is booked.
How we choose
Four rules we apply to every assessment
- We would rather run five tests you can act on than twenty you cannot
- You are told which tests were left out, and why
- Results are explained the same day, in person
- Every assessment ends with a plan and a date, not a document
Screening decisions are individual. This page describes how the practice works; it is not medical advice and does not recommend any particular test for you.
Who runs them
The prevention team
Dr Naomi Ashford
Leads the clinical team and keeps the half-hour appointment non-negotiable.
General practice
Dr Theo Vandenberg
Treats blood pressure, lipids and metabolic health as one problem rather than three.
Cardiometabolic
Dr Hana Lindqvist
Designs each health assessment around the person, and argues for fewer tests more often than more.

What a health assessment should actually tell you
More tests is not the same as more information. A look at how screening decisions are made, and why a good assessment often leaves things out.
The two changes rule
Why a nutrition plan with twelve changes in it is a plan with none, and how to choose which two are worth the effort.
Book a preventative assessment
Every assessment starts with a fifteen-minute planning call, so the half day itself is spent on what matters.
