• Sexual Health : STD Screening
 

MINI MEDICAL

Carried out by one of our doctors, this is a 30-minute health check which focuses on the detection of problems in blood pressure, cholesterol, prostate, blood sugar (diabetes), kidney, liver or iron storage problems.

The full consultation, blood tests and prostate examination only requires one visit which lasts thirty minutes. The medical is performed on weekday mornings, because a 14-hour fasting period is needed in advance.

If you wish to consider a more detailed health-check, please look at the Full Medical details below.
 
 

WHAT TESTS ARE CARRIED OUT?

• Haematology profile (FBC)
• Liver function tests (LFT)   
• Kidney function tests (U&E)     
• Fasting Lipids (Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Triglycerides)    
• Fasting Glucose
• Haemochromatosis blood test    
• PSA Prostate blood test (aged over 40) 
   

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

Screening is the process of identifying a medical problem at it’s early stage, when treatment and management is much easier. A regular medical examination gives you useful information about your health and can sometimes also highlight familial conditions. Advice will be provided with regard to the management of any short-term and long-term medical problems.
