A health assessment, also known as a health check, is a comprehensive review of your overall health and wellbeing. It is designed to give you a clearer understanding of both your physical and mental health.

Health assessments often focus on prevention. They can help identify potential health concerns early, as well as highlight risk factors for conditions that may run in your family. In some cases, they may also detect underlying issues that have not yet caused symptoms, helping you access the right treatment sooner.

At Bishops Wood Hospital, our health assessments are carried out by experienced specialists and tailored to your individual needs. We offer a range of options to support you at different stages of life, with clear results and guidance to help you take control of your health.

If any concerns are identified, you’ll benefit from fast access to further tests, specialist advice, and treatment where needed.

Select Assessment

The Select Assessment is a great middle ground for people who want a thorough health check but don't have any pressing concerns. This assessment is designed to assess your general health while focusing on areas of particular concern to your sex.

Price: £518.00
