Health Screening
We service our cars and our household appliances but often pay
little attention to our most valuable possession….our own bodies. A
full private health check will give you peace of mind – early
detection of something that isn’t right means that you can take
action.
Our private health Screening includes:
- A full hour with our GP including a full examination (see
below)
- Urine, stool and blood checks
- A full comprehensive health report sent to you within 3
weeks
- The GP will contact you earlier if there are serious health
concerns that need urgent attention
If you would like to find out more information about Health
Screening or to book an appointment, you can contact us
