Private Health Checks and Wellbeing Check Ups

A standard health check includes a full blood panel (cholesterol, blood glucose, liver function, kidney function, thyroid function, full blood count), blood pressure measurement, BMI and body composition review, urine analysis, and a clinical consultation with a GMC-registered GP who reviews your results with you before you leave. An ECG is included in standard and premium packages. A written results summary is issued after every check.

Most health check appointments take between 45 minutes and one hour. Extended executive packages may take longer. You will be given an estimated duration when you book.

Your doctor will go through your results with you at the appointment. Where some results are not yet available (typically certain blood tests that require laboratory processing), these are followed up as soon as they return. A written summary covering all results is issued following the appointment.

For most adults in good health, an annual health check provides a useful ongoing picture and allows year-on-year comparison of key markers. People with identified risk factors, a strong family history, or markers requiring monitoring may benefit from more frequent checks. Your doctor will advise at the appointment.

An executive health check is a more comprehensive version of a standard health check, typically including a broader blood panel, cancer markers (such as PSA for men), an extended GP consultation, and sometimes additional tests such as lung function or vision screening. PMC offers packages at different levels. Contact us to discuss which is appropriate for your situation.

Yes. We offer corporate and executive health check packages for businesses of all sizes. Employers can arrange centralised billing so costs are invoiced to the business rather than charged to employees. Contact us to discuss group arrangements.

No. You can book a private health check directly online or by phone without any referral from your NHS GP. There are no waiting lists.

Health check ups at PMC start from £[PRICE], with packages available at different levels depending on what tests you want included. The written results summary is included in all packages, with no additional fees on the day.

If your package includes a fasting blood glucose or lipid profile, you will need to fast for at least 10 hours beforehand (water is fine). We will confirm this when you book. If your package does not include fasting tests, no preparation is needed.

The NHS offers a Health Check for people aged 40 to 74 who are not already on a disease management programme, but access varies by location and the check is less comprehensive than a private health check. A private health check is more thorough, more flexible in timing, and not dependent on NHS availability.

Your doctor will review your results with you at the appointment and explain anything that needs attention. If a result requires further investigation, we arrange a referral the same day, either to an NHS service or a private specialist, depending on your preference and the clinical situation. You will not receive an abnormal result in the post without a doctor having discussed it with you first.

Cancer markers such as PSA (prostate-specific antigen) for men and CA125 for women are included in premium and executive packages. They can also be added to a standard check on request. Your doctor will discuss what these results mean in context, as elevated markers require interpretation alongside other clinical findings rather than being read in isolation.

A health check is a preventive health service: a broad clinical review of your overall health across multiple systems. An occupational health assessment is a specific clinical process focused on your fitness for a particular job role and results in a written report for HR use. Both are available at PMC and can be arranged independently or together.
