Your annual health MOT
Many common conditions, including high cholesterol, prediabetes, fatty liver and early kidney disease, cause no symptoms for years. The Well Person Profile checks the major systems in one simple blood test:
- Blood count: anaemia, infection and inflammation
- Heart health: total, LDL and HDL cholesterol and triglycerides
- Diabetes: HbA1c, your average blood sugar over 2–3 months
- Kidneys and liver: how well they’re filtering and working
Your results come in a clear, easy-to-understand report in 1–3 days, with each marker shown against its normal range, so you can see at a glance where you stand. Women may prefer our Well Woman Profile and men our Well Man Profile, which add sex-specific markers.
Who it’s for
- An annual health MOT
- Turning 40, 50 or 60
- A family history of heart disease, diabetes or kidney problems
- Peace of mind before a new job, trip or fitness plan
How to prepare
- Drink plenty of water beforehand; it makes the sample quicker and easier to take.
- You don’t need to fast.
Well Person Profile Blood Test: your questions
How often should I have a well person blood test?
Once a year is a good rhythm for most adults, or sooner if you’re making lifestyle changes or your doctor suggests it.
Do I need to fast for the Well Person Profile?
Usually not. If fasting would help any of your markers, we’ll tell you when you book.
