Health Screens
Our comprehensive Full Health Screens offer extensive testing and measuring of the items listed below, however an individual screen can be adapted to include any area of concern you may have or that is clinically indicated. The Health screening is performed by one of our team of Doctors and takes approximately 1 hour. The "body MOT" is a popular choice for individuals wanting a health check-up on an annual basis to help give peace of mind.

Urine and stool specimens are required for which sample containers will be provided. The containers can be posted before your consultation; therefore you could bring the sample with you on the day. Alternatively you could take a container home with you after the consultation and return it at your convenience.
A detailed report is given after a Full Health Screen or Well-Man/Woman Screen which include recommendations to improve your health along with copies of blood reports and any other results of tests which may have been taken. The report is produced two weeks after the appointment date, which allows time for blood results to be returned from the laboratories. The report can either be sent to you by first class post or picked up from the practice.
