Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the world, but it can be prevented. An excess of triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood (Dyslipidemia) is one of the most important risk factors. High levels can effectively be controlled through diet and exercise.

LDL - Cholesterol
Non - HDL Cholesterol
Total Cholesterol
Triglycerides
Diabetes occurs when the body’s ability to regulate the amount of blood sugar (glucose) is impaired.
In Type 1 diabetes the body is no longer able to produce insulin, and in the more common Type 2 (which occurs more frequently with age) the body is no longer sensitive to its action.
Lifestyle changes can prevent pre-diabetes from progressing to Type 2 diabetes, as well as being effective in treatment. The purpose of diabetes-related tests is to detect pre-diabetes and undiagnosed diabetes, as well as to monitor how well the diabetes is controlled.
Diabetes markers:
HbA1C
The kidney profile is a set of tests that evaluates the function of your kidneys. Kidneys remove waste products and excess water from the body. If it’s not functioning properly, waste products can accumulate and make you unwell. There are lots of reasons that the kidneys may not be working correctly including diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Kidney function markers:
Creatinine
Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)
Sodium
The liver is essential for digesting food and removing toxic substances. If your liver is not functioning correctly it can make you unwell. There are a number of causes for a liver not functioning well, including infection, alcohol use, and certain medications and food supplements.
Liver function markers:
Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)
Albumin
Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)
Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST)
Bilirubin
Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GCT)
Vitamins and minerals are essential nutrients that are required by the body to work properly and stay healthy. There are 13 main types of vitamins – including Vitamin D and C, and a number of minerals such as iron and calcium. Making sure you’re getting enough vitamins and minerals is crucial for many bodily functions, like the formation of blood cells, tissues, genetic material and hormones.
Vitamins and mineral markers:
Ferritin
Folate
Iron
Transferrin
Transferrin Saturation
Vitamin B12
Vitamin D
There are 3 main types of cells in the blood – platelets (important for stopping bleeding), white cells (to fight infection) and red cells (carrying oxygen around the body). A full blood count provides information about these cells. For example, if someone is feeling tired frequently, the blood status can determine whether anaemia (low red cells) is a cause for this.
Blood status markers:
Haematocrit (PCV)
Haemoglobin
Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin (MCH)
Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin
Concentration (MCHC)
Mean Corpuscular Volume (CPV)
Mean Platelet Volume (MPV)
Number of basophils
Number of eosinophils
Number of leukocytes
Number of lymphocytes
Number of monocytes
Number of neutrophils
Percentage of basophils
Percentage of eosinophils
Percentage of lymphocytes
Percentage of monocytes
Percentage of neutrophils
Platelet Count
Red Blood Cell Count (RBC)
Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW)
Increased markers of inflammation can be due to a number of causes including infection, joint problems and can even be a risk factor for heart disease.
Inflammation markers:
C-Reactive Protein (CRP)

A health assessment is a general analysis of your physical wellbeing. Using a simple blood test and health questionnaire, our nurses and doctors will help you discover more about what’s going on inside your body. And once you’ve got a better picture of your health and any potential problems, you can make adjustments to your lifestyle or book an appointment with your GP to discuss your unique health issues in more detail.
You’ll need to book an appointment at one of our stores. You can find your nearest clinic and book an appointment online, or call 03333111007 to arrange a convenient time and date.
Taking your health into your own hands is a lot like your car’s annual MOT. Even if the vehicle is running perfectly, it’s still sensible to give it a good check to make sure there aren’t any hidden problems. That’s why our Health Checks are so helpful, as spotting new or potential problems early is the best way to keep yourself well.
Many of us also put up with feeling less than our best for a number of reasons and checking your bloods could give you an insight as to why this may be. Perhaps you’re struggling to fit an appointment with a GP into your busy schedule, or don’t want to take up their time for something as seemingly minor as tiredness or lack of energy. A Health check is a convenient and easy way to take your health into your own hands. Your bloods will be analysed against 44 health markers for common problems, including iron, folate and B12 deficiencies, serum lipids and triglycerides and markers of inflammation, so you can find out how to improve your overall health and wellbeing.
When you arrive at our clinic, please make sure you’re following government guidelines by wearing a face covering. Your nurse will also be wearing a face covering, so please ask if you’re struggling to understand them or need any information repeated.
During your Health Check, you’ll be asked to fill out a medical questionnaire to give us a better idea of your general health. The main part of your Health Check will be a simple venous blood test (where blood is drawn from a vein in your arm using a needle). This should only take a minute or two to complete.
Ideally you will fast for 10 hours before the test, so maybe consider booking a morning test, if this isn’t possible don’t worry but please let the nurse know so we can interpret your results correctly. It’s also a good idea to wrap up warm, as being cold can sometimes make it harder to draw your blood as well as being hydrated. If blood tests make you anxious, let your nurse know at the start of your appointment. They will do their best to make the experience as stress-free as possible.
Your blood will be analysed against 44 common health markers, checking your:
Liver health
Cholesterol status
Kidney health
Blood sugar levels (for diabetes)
Iron levels
Vitamins, including B12, D and folate
Full blood count
Inflammation
Essentially, though, the Health Check will make sure key organs like your liver and kidneys are working as they should and uncover any deficiencies or precursors to illness that are impacting your health.
You can check your results by logging into your Melio Health account. We’ll include a detailed breakdown of what your results mean, as well as relevant medical advice from experienced doctors. You’ll usually be able to access this information within five working days meaning you can act on your results and start improving your health quickly. Diagnostics are undertaken by our partner, Melio Health. During the consultation, your nurse will register you for a Melio Health patient account and you will receive your results through this portal.
You will need to consent to the nurse setting up a Melio Health account for you and your personal data being entered on the Melio patient portal; their terms and conditions can be found Melio Health Terms of Use.
