Where Can You Get A Men's Full Health Check?
A men’s full health check is a great way to learn more about your general health. It offers key insights into a range of essential health parameters, allowing you to take a proactive approach to managing your health.
In this article, we share where you can go to get a men’s full health check, what a full health check involves and why you should consider booking one with a private provider, like Bluecrest Wellness.
What is a men’s full health check?
A men’s full health check screens you for a range of conditions relevant to your sex assigned at birth. It can provide you with personalised information, advice and support about your risk of developing certain conditions and general health and wellbeing.
A men’s full health check might include:
- Health Assessments: Assess your risk for various health conditions, such as diabetes, heart attack, or stroke.
- Family and Medical History: Questions about your family and medical history.
- Lifestyle Factors: Evaluation of key lifestyle factors, including:
- Weight
- Body mass index (BMI)
- Activity levels
- Diet and nutrition
- Existing Conditions: Assessment of any existing conditions like high blood pressure or cholesterol.
A health professional will then:
- Review your test results alongside your history and lifestyle factors.
- Provide personalised advice on reducing your risk of certain health conditions.
- Suggest lifestyle changes to improve your future health and wellbeing.
Where can you get a men’s full health check?
If you are aged 40-74 and have no pre-existing health conditions, you are eligible for a free NHS health check every five years through your usual GP surgery.
If you would like more regular health testing or fall out of the NHS parameters for routine testing, you can book a private men’s full health check through a private provider, such as Bluecrest Wellness. Using a private provider enables you to choose an appointment at a time and location convenient to you, allowing you to keep on top of your wellbeing and detect any potential issues earlier. Plus, if you have any additional concerns, you can add on individual tests for complete peace of mind.
What does a full men’s health check involve?
A full men’s health check involves having a series of tests, which can help provide vital insights into your general health. Although the exact tests you are offered depend on your health check provider, in general they will include tests such as:
- Cholesterol and diabetes test
- Lung function check
- Urinalysis
- Blood health markers
- Kidney function
- Essential proteins and iron
- Bone health, energy and muscles
- Stomach cancer risk
- Prostate cancer risk
- Bowel cancer risk
- Heart disease risk
- Stroke risk
The results of any tests carried out are then reviewed alongside information about your family and medical history, risk factors and current lifestyle to provide you with personalised insights into your health.
Your full health check results
With an NHS health check, your GP will discuss the results with you and provide insights into the changes you may wish to make to reduce your risk of developing certain health conditions or improve your general health.
If you choose to book a health check with a private provider, you can also expect to receive comprehensive insights into your general health and support to understand your results.
Your results will be available 24/7 through our online dashboard, My Wellness. You will receive an email notification as soon as your results are ready for viewing. Processing times vary by test, with some results accessible on the dashboard in as little as three days. The online dashboard also provides easy access to a downloadable PDF, making it simple to share your results with your GP.
This explains your test results in detail with no medical jargon, and each result is given a 'flag' of green, amber or red. Green results are within the recommended range for your age and sex; amber results are slightly outside what we'd normally expect; and red results are further outside the norm.
If a result is amber or red, we'll give follow-up advice on any action you need to take - whether that's making lifestyle changes, monitoring the result, or visiting your GP for further investigation. In addition, with any of our full health checks, you also get access to a free 24/7 GP helpline for an entire year for additional reassurance about any concerns you may have.
Why should you consider booking a full men’s health check?
A full men’s health check offers numerous benefits including:
- Enabling you to take proactive steps to improve your health
- Offering preventative measures
- Picking up underlying conditions or abnormalities sooner
- Assessing your risk for future health issues
