A detailed and full history will be taken by an experienced GP. We will discuss your past medical history, current medications and relevant family history. This will allow us to tailor the health check to your needs. Each medical, in our opinion, should be tailored to you as an individual.

A full examination will be carried out by an experienced GP as part of the health screen. 

This will focus on trying to find any asymptomatic abnormalities such as heart murmurs, abdominal masses and neurological signs which may go un-noticed.

The GP will carry out an examination which will include:

cardiovascular (heart)

respiratory (lung)

gastro-enterology (abdominal)

neurological (brain and nerves)

musculo-skeletal 

ENT (ear, nose and throat)systems.

Further examinations may also be carried out which are gender specific including pelvic, genetalia and breast. These will be discussed during the health check.
