About this test

This screen checks 13 areas of general health from one blood sample: kidney and liver function, a lipid and cardiac profile, thyroid hormones, full blood count and inflammation markers (FBC and ESR), vitamin D, ferritin for iron status, uric acid for gout risk, chloride and bone markers. These are commonly used together to build a broad picture of organ and metabolic health rather than to test for one specific condition.

Within its comparison group of general health checks, £245 is well above the £113 median, and its 13 markers sit below the group's median of 18. Blue Horizon Medicals' Fingerprick Wellwoman covers 20 markers for £82.25, and YorkTest's Essential Health Check covers 18 markers for £55, both considerably cheaper and broader. Better2Know also sells a nurse-kit version of this identical 13-marker panel for £145, using a home visit instead of a clinic appointment.

The scores reflect a reasonable but not class-leading panel let down by price: clinical depth and clarity both score adequately to well, since the marker list and process are set out clearly, but value for money is low given the gap to both the group median and to deeper, cheaper peers, and results and follow-up scores only moderately because results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.

Who is it for?

This suits a woman who wants a single supervised clinic appointment covering kidney, liver, heart, thyroid, bone and vitamin D markers together, and who values Better2Know's clinic network over a postal kit.

If depth or price matters more than a clinic visit, Blue Horizon Medicals' Fingerprick Wellwoman covers more markers (20) for £82.25, and Better2Know's own nurse-kit version of this same 13-marker panel costs £100 less at £145 for a home visit instead.

How it works

A nurse takes a venous blood sample from your arm at a clinic of your choice, or can visit you at home; the sample is sent to the provider's laboratory, where it is processed across the 13 marker groups covered by the panel. Results are typically available within about a day of the lab receiving the sample and are accessed through Better2Know's online patient area, with a Patient Services team member also getting in touch once everything is ready. The provider does not state that results are reviewed by a doctor as standard, though a private consultation can be arranged afterwards or you can take the results to your own GP.
