A 43-marker blood panel covering full blood count, kidney and liver function, thyroid, cholesterol, diabetes and key vitamins, aimed at people who feel well but want a broad health check-up.
44 biomarkers as listed by Blue Horizon Medicals.
This panel covers full blood count, kidney and liver function, cholesterol and triglycerides, thyroid hormones (TSH and Free T4), diabetes risk via HbA1c, gout risk, inflammation via CRP, iron status and key vitamins including vitamin D and B12. Blue Horizon uses HbA1c rather than fasting glucose, so you don't need to fast, though the provider notes that triglyceride results are still affected if you eat beforehand.
At 43 biomarkers, this test sits slightly above the 40-marker median for the 21 tests in its comparison group, which supports a strong clinical depth score. On price, though, it's less competitive: £156.25 is close to the group median overall, but most named rivals undercut it, including Medichecks' identically sized 43-marker Advanced Essential Blood Test at £135 and several 26 to 39-marker panels priced under £120. Only Medichecks' 47-marker Advanced Well Woman Blood Test, at £159, costs more among the named peers.
Collection requires a venous blood draw at a clinic, though a nurse home visit is offered, which is why its collection convenience score is lower than Blue Horizon's at-home tests. A doctor reviews the result, and the listing sets out the full biomarker list and collection options clearly, both of which support its other scores. Trust signals reflect Blue Horizon's 4.2 Trustpilot rating from 395 reviews and its UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs, which apply across the provider's range.
This suits people who feel well but want a broad first look at their kidney, liver, thyroid, cholesterol and vitamin status, or who have mild concerns and want a wide net cast without a specific complaint to test for. The HbA1c-based approach also suits people who'd rather not fast.
If marker count for your budget matters most, Medichecks' Advanced Essential Blood Test covers the same 43 markers for £135, and several rivals in the £89 to £119 range offer a smaller but still broad panel for less.
A trained phlebotomist takes a venous blood sample at a clinic or during a nurse home visit; there's no at-home finger-prick option for this test. The lab processes the full panel, and results are typically back within 3 days. A doctor reviews the results before you receive your report, and you don't need to fast beforehand, though not fasting will affect the triglyceride result.
This 43-marker panel costs £156.25 and sits close to the £159 median for the 21 tests in its comparison group, but most named rivals are cheaper for a similar or even identical marker count, including Medichecks' 43-marker Advanced Essential Blood Test at £135. It requires a venous blood draw rather than an at-home kit, with results in 3 days and a doctor review included.
The listing publishes a detailed description, the full biomarker list, a stated turnaround, clear collection options, the sample type; it does not state what the report looks like.
