About this test

This clinic-based test covers 18 biomarkers: kidney, liver, bone, cardiac and thyroid profiles, a lipid profile, a full blood count with a five-part differential, ESR and CRP for inflammation, a Lp-PLA2 test linked to cardiovascular risk, HbA1c for diabetes, uric acid for gout risk, ferritin for iron status, chloride, vitamin D, a urine test for infection, a stool test for hidden blood linked to bowel cancer risk, and HE4, a marker sometimes used alongside other tests for ovarian cancer risk. It requires blood, urine and stool samples, giving a broad annual snapshot across several organ systems.

Against the 32 tests in its comparison group, its 18 biomarkers sit right at the group median, supporting a strong clinical depth score, the same as Better2Know's own nurse-kit version of this panel. Price is the weak point: at £695 it costs far more than the £113 group median, and considerably more than several peers matching or beating its depth, including YorkTest's Essential Health Check (£55, 18 biomarkers) and Blue Horizon Medicals' Fingerprick Wellwoman (£82.25, 20 biomarkers). It is also £196 more than Better2Know's own nurse-kit version of the identical panel, at £499. This is the main reason it scores poorly on value for money, despite scoring well for clarity.

The remaining scores reflect collection and follow-up. You attend a clinic (or a nurse can visit) to provide the venous sample, plus urine and stool samples, with results in two working days. Results are not doctor-reviewed as standard, which is the main reason it loses marks on results and follow-up. Trust signals reflect a 4.2 Trustpilot score from 775 reviews, CQC registration, and 18 years trading.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you want the same broad, 18-marker annual health check as Better2Know's nurse-kit version, but would rather attend a clinic in person than have a nurse visit and post samples yourself.

Since the panel is identical, Better2Know's own nurse-kit version of this test, at £499, is worth considering first if you are comfortable with a home nurse visit, as it saves £196 for the same biomarkers. It is also worth comparing with YorkTest's Essential Health Check (£55, 18 biomarkers) and Blue Horizon Medicals' Fingerprick Wellwoman (£82.25, 20 biomarkers), both of which match or exceed this panel's depth for substantially less.

How it works

You attend a Better2Know clinic, or a nurse can visit you, to provide a venous blood sample, plus urine and stool samples. The samples are sent to the laboratory for analysis, with results ready within two working days of the samples arriving. You view your results through Better2Know's online patient area, and the patient services team contacts you once they are all ready. Results are not doctor-reviewed as standard, though Better2Know says it can arrange a private doctor consultation if any levels are abnormal.

This clinic-based version covers the same 18 biomarkers as Better2Know's own nurse-kit version of this test, spanning kidney, liver, bone, cardiac and thyroid profiles plus bowel-cancer-risk and diabetes markers. At £695, it costs far more than the median for its comparison group, and more than Better2Know's own cheaper nurse-kit version of the same panel. Results are not doctor-reviewed as standard.
