Understanding health assessments
A health assessment serves as a comprehensive tool to not only detect existing health conditions and risk factors for disease development but also evaluate the functionality of various bodily systems. By undergoing a health assessment, subtle signs of dysfunction within the body can be identified promptly, allowing for early diagnosis and timely intervention.
Our Full Body Health Assessments evaluate lung, kidney and liver function, plus heart and lung health. These assessments also include blood tests for cholesterol, diabetes (HbA1c blood test), protein, iron and more. In addition, the risk of developing certain health conditions such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes is also analysed.
Undergoing regular health assessments is an important way to keep tabs on your health, ensuring that any issues are detected early. Once you have received your personalised Bluecrest Results Report, you can then make the necessary diet and lifestyle changes needed to improve and take ownership of your health.

Types of health assessments
The human body is intricately designed, comprising numerous interconnected components. Various medical assessments are tailored to evaluate the functioning of these components, addressing diverse aspects of health.
Depending on the circumstances, either a full body health assessment may be necessary to evaluate an individual's overall health and wellbeing, or a targeted check up may suffice to address specific concerns.
Here are the private health assessments offered by Bluecrest:
