On the day
In-clinic checks
Blood pressure, body composition, a 12-lead ECG and urinalysis — all performed and explained during your appointment.
Heart
- Blood pressure. Checks for raised blood pressure, a leading risk factor for heart disease and stroke.
- Resting heart rate. An indicator of cardiovascular fitness.
- 12-lead ECG. Records the electrical activity of your heart from 12 different angles. Can flag patterns linked to rhythm irregularities such as atrial fibrillation, or other electrical abnormalities. Not a substitute for clinical cardiology assessment.
- Healthy heart age. Calculated from your data, with guidance on how to lower it.
- Heart disease & stroke 10-year risk. A risk algorithm using your health and lifestyle data to estimate your risk.
Body composition
- Body fat percentage. Compared against the ideal range for your age, gender, and build.
- Basal metabolic rate (BMR). The energy your body needs at rest.
- Estimated daily activity requirement. Your daily calorie need based on activity level.
- Muscle and bone mass. Identifies risks linked to low body mass.
- Hydration percentage. Whether you’re hydrated, dehydrated, or retaining excess water.
- Waist-to-height ratio. A strong predictor of metabolic disease risk.
- Ideal weight range. Personalised to your height, frame, and lean mass.
- Body mass index (BMI). Interpreted alongside your body composition for context.
Urinalysis
- Urine glucose. Can flag patterns linked to raised blood sugar or undiagnosed diabetes.
- Urine protein. A marker of kidney health; raised levels can flag patterns linked to kidney stress.
- Urine blood. Can flag patterns warranting further investigation, such as urinary tract issues.
Lifestyle review
- Lifestyle assessment. A structured review of your current routine and health goals.
- Nutrition guidance. Practical, evidence-based advice — no fad diets.
- Sleep hygiene. Why sleep matters and how to improve it.
- Physical activity assessment. Tailored guidance to fit your schedule and preferences.
- Type 2 diabetes 10-year risk. A risk algorithm using your health and lifestyle data to estimate your risk.

Who the Advanced Health Check is for
Best for
- Adults aged 18–79 wanting a more detailed health picture than Essential provides
- People who want a full blood count alongside the standard panel — useful for investigating fatigue, recovery or general blood health
- Anyone wanting an ECG screen to flag rhythm or electrical patterns warranting further investigation
- Patients returning for a follow-up check who want to track a wider set of markers over time
Consider a different option if
You want thyroid or inflammation screening.
Thyroid function and high-sensitivity CRP are not included in Advanced. Our Optimal Health Check at £189 covers both plus everything in Advanced.
You want a wider hormone, thyroid antibody or vitamin panel.
Sex hormones, thyroid antibodies, fasting insulin, vitamin D, B12 and folate are not included in Advanced. Our Comprehensive Blood Test at £299 is our widest blood-test-only package covering all of these.
You have specific cancer marker concerns.
PSA and CA125 cancer marker tests are not included. See our Men’s Cancer Marker Health Check or Women’s Cancer Marker Health Check at £249.
You want a focused baseline on a tighter budget.
If a full blood count, ECG and urinalysis are not important to you, our Essential Health Check at £125 covers cholesterol, HbA1c, liver, kidney and full iron studies, with body composition and lifestyle review.
You have active symptoms.
Health screening is for baseline testing and risk awareness, not diagnosis. If you have symptoms that are worrying you, please speak to your GP.
