BOOK YOUR WELL WOMAN HEALTH CHECK

Well Woman Health Check

Well Woman Health Check

Your health is important, and our Well Woman Screening is designed to give you a comprehensive health and wellness M.O.T.  It’s a proactive way to ensure you’re doing all you can to take care of your health.

It will enable us to detect any underlying health issues (before they cause symptoms), and identify health risks, which puts us in a good position to do something about them.

As women, we’re often busy with work and looking after other people; a Well Woman Health Check is a way to ensure you’re taking care of yourself, and taking action to optimise your health and well-being.

Health Screening with a Private GP

Your health check starts with an in-depth discussion about your current health, your wellness goals, and any problems you may be experiencing.

You’ll have a whole hour together with a highly experienced GP, and you’ll be able to talk about any physical or mental health concerns or worries you may have, and discuss how this relates to your past medical history, and any family history of illness.

You’ll be given time and space to talk about your diet, exercise, stress levels and sleep, and whether you’re experiencing any menopausal symptoms or sexual health problems.

You’ll also have a thorough review of any medications you may be taking, any contraception you may be using.

Physical Examination

You’ll undergo a top-to-toe examination, including:

  • Weight, height and body mass index

  • Blood pressure measurement

  • ECG (heart trace) to look for heart rhythm abnormalities.

  • Examination of your heart and lungs, nervous system, abdomen, musculoskeletal system, ears and eyes, and skin.

  • Breast examination

  • Pelvic examination (and a smear test or swab testing, if requested) *

  • Urine testing

After the blood tests have been processed at the laboratory, the GP will telephone you to go through the results, and what they mean for you and your health. You’ll then receive a comprehensive report about the findings from your screening, which many include health-optimisation or lifestyle change recommendations.

If the health screening reveals a problem that may need further attention (for example, if your blood pressure reading is high), the GP can assist you either by taking you through further tests or investigations, an onward referral to a specialist, or by making recommendations to your own NHS or Private GP.
