Standard Health Check
This panel extends the basics with lipids, thyroid function and blood sugar. It gives a fuller sense of how the major systems are running. Suitable as an annual reference point.
What this tells you
Everything in the basic check, with cholesterol and thyroid markers added. Cholesterol speaks to how fats are carried in the blood; thyroid markers speak to the pace of your metabolism, and often to energy, weight and temperature. A sensible annual overview.
Results are returned and explained privately by the clinic. Nothing is published on this website.
How to prepare
Fasting required
Fasting required. Please have nothing to eat for 8 to 12 hours before your appointment. Water is fine, and keep taking any prescribed medicines unless your doctor has told you otherwise. A morning appointment is usually easiest. Drinking water beforehand makes the sample quicker to take.
