Health Checks

Comprehensive health screening to identify risk, treat problems and safeguard your future health

Regular health screening can identify risk factors, diagnose disease at an early stage and help you make positive lifestyle changes. London Medical offers a comprehensive range of health checks to help you understand your current health and learn how to prevent future disease.

Whether you’re worried about diabetes, heart disease or cancer, London Medical’s health checks can provide an overview of your current health, identify areas of risk and provide individual advice on making lifestyle changes that can protect your health.

Health screening at London Medical

Health screening takes place in London’s Medical’s comfortable, discreet outpatient clinic. A range of non-invasive tests are available from London Medical’s laboratory and the state-of-the-art imaging suite. The supportive staff will guide you through the screening process and will always take time to answer your questions and address any concerns.

General health checks start with a consultation with a specialist nurse who will take a range of baseline measurements. The specific tests will depend on the health check you have chosen but could include:

Measurement of height, weight and calculation of your Body Mass Index (BMI).
Measurement of blood pressure to check for hypertension.
ECG to check heart rate, rhythm and function.
Urinalysis to check for glucose, blood, protein and other abnormalities.
Spirometer to evaluate lung function and check for conditions such as asthma or COPD.
Eye tests to check visual acuity and colour blindness.
Questionnaire to assess your mental health, stress levels and wellbeing.

A blood sample will be taken and sent to the laboratory for analysis. The baseline blood tests include a full blood count to detect anaemia, a lipid profile, blood sugar levels to check for diabetes and biochemical tests to check the function of your kidneys and liver. Cutting-edge investigations are also available to screen for cardiac risk, diabetes, ovarian and prostate cancers.

Health screening consultation

One of the specialist doctors at London Medical will take a detailed medical history, perform a comprehensive examination and ask about your lifestyle and family health history.

London Medical will produce a comprehensive report with the results of your tests and your examination. This will provide a clear insight into your current health and individual advice on how to improve your health and wellbeing and reduce the risk of developing disease.

Cardiac risk assessment

London Medical offers an in-depth assessment of your individual risk of developing heart disease. The results are used to identify risk factors and evaluate your current heart health.

As well as the baseline tests, you will be offered:

Screening for diabetes.
BP monitoring.
Comprehensive cholesterol and lipid profile: London Medical provide cutting-edge cholesterol and lipid testing to help assess your risk of cardiac disease. In addition to traditional cholesterol testing, London Medial exclusively offers LDL particle number analysis, one of the most powerful tools for predicting heart attack risk.
Carotid artery ultrasound: Scanning the carotid artery in the neck is an effective, low-radiation way of measuring the lining thickness and the size of any fatty plaques. A coronary artery calcium score is also assessed and these results are used in conjunction with the findings from the cholesterol blood tests to provide an overall assessment of personal risk.

Diabetes risk assessment

If you have not been diagnosed with diabetes, London Medical offers a diabetes risk assessment that screens for diabetes and provides individual analysis of your chances of developing type 2 diabetes in the future.

You will have a consultation with one of the diabetes specialist nurses, who will perform the baseline tests, check your medical history and also perform:

HbA1c blood test, which is a good indication of your blood glucose levels over a prolonged period.
Body composition analysis to assess fat levels and distribution, which are linked to metabolic syndrome.

At the end of the appointment, you will be given a diagnosis of diabetes or provided with an evaluation of your future risk. If the tests show diabetes or prediabetes, there’s no need to panic. London Medical are world-leaders in modern diabetes care. The clinic offers a cutting-edge weight loss programme, expert education and the support you need to reverse prediabetes, put diabetes into remission and protect your future health.
