If you're looking for a general health MOT then our General Health Blood Test is exactly what you need.

Our General Health Blood Test is a comprehensive blood test panel for both men and women, designed to check your key general health biomarkers and pick up health problems early. We should all be taking the General Health Blood Test once a year.

What conditions does the General Health Blood Test check for?

A General Health Blood Test should give you a health MOT, checking your major body systems for problems even though you feel fine now. We check your cholesterol, diabetes risk, thyroid, liver and kidney health and key vitamins and minerals. These markers give you information about your risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer and dementia.

Is the General Health Blood Test suitable for men and women?

Yes - our General Health Blood Test is designed to be a thorough health MOT for both men and women. For the most part the major risks to men's and women's health are the same. Heart disease, cancer, diabetes and dementia affect us all regardless of sex.

However, there are a few more spoecialist blood tests that are more useful in men than in women. That's why you can "add on" a testosterone blood test and a protstate specific antigen blood test to the General Health Blood Test.

How often should I take a General Health Blood Test

Most of us should be taking the General Health Blood Test once a year. If you're under 30 you might consider taking it every few years instead but in an ideal world you would still be checking these core biomarkers every year.

If the General Health Blood Test picks up areas that could do with improvement, e.g. high cholesterol levels, then you may need to do further tests related to that specific issue but you wouldn't generally need to take the full general health MOT more than once in a year.

What's tested in your General Health Blood Test?

  • Cholesterol Status

    Your lipid profile - the levels of triglycerides and cholesterol in your blood - is one of most important risk factors for heart disease. High cholesterol also increases your risk of stroke and dementia.

    WHAT'S MEASURED?

  • Diabetes & Sugar Handling

    Diabetes and pre-diabetes - the stage before full-blown diabetes - are directly linked to your risk of heart disease. Poor sugar handling is also related to other conditions such as cancer and dementia.

    WHAT'S MEASURED?

  • Thyroid Health

    Your thyroid gland controls how fast your metabolism runs. Thyroid problems are common and will affect all aspects of your health from your gut to your skin and mental health.

    WHAT'S MEASURED?

  • Liver Health

    Your liver is the main organ affecting how you metabolise pretty much everything you put inside your body, including food, drink and medications. Alcohol and excess body fat are common causes of liver injury.

    WHAT'S MEASURED?

  • Kidney Health

    Along with your liver, your kidneys are crucial to filter and detox your blood. But common conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes can cause damage over time.

    WHAT'S MEASURED?

  • Iron Deficiency

    Iron is essential for your red blood cells and immune system. Iron deficiency is the commonest mineral deficiency in the UK, particularly if you're on a plant-based diet or are a woman before the menopause. Iron deficiency can also be a sign of cancer.

    WHAT'S MEASURED?

  • Essential Vitamins

    Vitamin B12 and vitamin D are fundamental to health and deficiency is common.
