In addition to our comprehensive Wellman and Wellwoman checks, we provide mini medicals, health screenings and examinations relating to specific conditions.
These value-for-money checks and tests give peace of mind, a plan for the future and include a consultation with an experienced doctor.
An initial blood pressure consultation at our walk-in clinic will include an assessment of lifestyle and cardiovascular risk and a blood pressure check.
You will see an experienced doctor who will discuss appropriate next steps with you, lifestyle changes and medication. Subsequent routine follow-ups can be organised at a reduced cost by speaking to the clinic manager if you plan to return regularly.
A 24-hour blood pressure monitoring service is available at our Harley Street branch. This will help us understand what is happening with your blood pressure over a whole day and night to come to a firmer diagnosis.
If you have a family history of heart disease, high cholesterol or stroke, or if you are concerned about your cholesterol, our cholesterol profile will tell you exactly where you’re at.
Some clinics only test your total cholesterol level which is a poor indicator of what’s going on. Our profile breaks this down into several important components, including the levels of LDL “bad” cholesterol, HDL “good” cholesterol and triglycerides, which gives you and the doctor a clear idea of the current status.
As part of your initial screening, we recommend a full blood profile which includes a comprehensive lipid profile.
This test additionally details the state of your kidneys, liver, blood count, uric acid and 40 different important elements.
The consultation with an experienced doctor will cover lifestyle and dietary changes and medication options should your cholesterol level be resistant to lifestyle improvements.
We offer all kinds of basic medicals and health screenings and more complex ones too. Anything from a consultation about your blood pressure, to diabetes screening, to a general health check-up, we can help. Just get in touch and speak to our friendly team and they’ll talk you through your options, making sure to meet your needs.
Basic medical check-ups can lead to the early detection of various diseases, including chronic and life-threatening conditions like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. Early detection often means that treatment can be more effective.
Regular medicals encourage a focus on preventive health care. By identifying risk factors such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol early, individuals can take steps to prevent these conditions from developing into more serious problems.
Basic medicals provide an opportunity for individuals to monitor their health status regularly. This ongoing monitoring can help in managing existing conditions and keeping track of any changes in health over time.
Basic medicals, often referred to as general health check-ups or physical examinations, are routine medical assessments conducted by healthcare professionals. These check-ups typically include a review of medical history, a physical examination, and various tests such as blood pressure measurement, blood tests, and urine analysis.
The primary purpose of these medicals is to maintain good health, identify any early signs of health issues, and provide an opportunity for healthcare professionals to offer advice on healthy living. They are an essential component of preventive healthcare and are crucial for maintaining overall well-being.
