Complete Health screening services

At the London General Practice we aim to help you to stay healthy, as well as treating you when you are ill. That’s why we encourage all our patients to undergo annual health screening.

With health screening we can identify any early signs of disease or other health issues and discuss potential risk factors in your family history or lifestyle that may be putting your health at risk.

Our health screens are comprehensive

On arrival at The London General Practice, you will spend half an hour with the Practice Nurse, who will perform a series of tests to assess your health, including:

Height and weight		To calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI)
Blood Pressure		To check for signs of hypertension
Urinalysis		To check the urine for ten different parameters
ECG		To analyse heart rhythm and check heart function
Vitalograph Spirometer		To test lung function
Visual tests		To check your eyesight and test for colour blindness
Stressometer		To assess your current mental health

The nurse will also take a blood sample, which will be tested for haemoglobin (to detect anaemia), cholesterol (to find if you blood lipids are within the correct range) and blood sugar levels (to screen for diabetes). Other tests assess how well your kidneys and liver are working.

“An annual health screen takes far less than a day out of your year but gives you 365 days peace of mind.”

Our health screens are comprehensive

Following your tests, your doctor will undertake a thorough physical examination and talk through your medical history, and that of your family to identify potential problems. Heightened risks can often be reduced to normal levels by lifestyle changes.

Once all of the test results are available, you will receive a comprehensive report giving you a clear understanding of your current health, as well as advice and guidance on how to maintain your health and wellbeing and what behaviours you may need to change to reduce the risk of disease. If all is well, we will call you and your report will follow. If we have concerns, another appointment with your doctor will be arranged.
