Why have a health MOT?
Many common conditions, including high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver and early kidney disease, cause no symptoms for years. A blood test is often the only way to spot them early, when small lifestyle changes make the biggest difference. In England the NHS Health Check is offered every five years to adults aged 40 to 74 without certain conditions; a private Well Person check lets you test at any age, as often as you like.
What the profile covers
Your full blood count checks for anaemia and signs of infection. The lipid profile measures total, LDL and HDL cholesterol and triglycerides. Kidney function includes creatinine and eGFR, liver function includes enzymes such as ALT and GGT, and HbA1c shows your average blood sugar over the past two to three months. Together they give a broad picture of your heart, metabolic, kidney and liver health.
How to prepare
- Drink a couple of glasses of water beforehand: it makes the sample quicker and easier to take.
- No fasting needed. Eat and drink as normal.

Questions
How is Well Person different from Well Man and Well Woman?
Well Person and Well Man cover the same general health markers. Well Woman adds two female hormones (FSH and LH) to general and metabolic markers. Choose whichever fits you best, or call us to talk it through.
Do I need to fast?
No. You can eat normally. If your doctor has asked for a fasting cholesterol, don’t eat for 10 to 12 hours beforehand (water is fine).
How often should I have a health check?
Once a year is a sensible routine for most adults, or sooner if a result needs rechecking or your doctor suggests it.
