About this test

This package covers 43 markers across areas including blood health, blood pressure, bone health, cholesterol and diabetes markers, heart and stroke risk, an ECG-based heart rhythm check, immune markers, kidney and liver function, a lung function check and peripheral arterial disease. Bluecrest's own description notes that an abnormal white blood cell reading in the blood health element could, rarely, point to a blood-related condition, and that this would need following up with your own GP.

On clinical depth, 43 markers is above the 40-marker median across the 21 tests in its comparison group of advanced health checks, so it is a broad panel. On price, it is the most expensive of the eight named peers we compare it with: at £239, it costs more than Blue Horizon Medicals' 43-marker Comprehensive Bronze Healthscreen (£156.25) and Medichecks' 43-marker Advanced Essential Blood Test (£135), both of which cover a near-identical number of markers for well under the price.

Unlike Bluecrest's own Complete Health MOT, which adds a private GP consultation and a lipoprotein(a) marker for £339, this package does not include a doctor review of results as standard, which pulls down its results and follow-up score. Collection convenience is also a weaker point, since it needs a venous blood draw at a clinic with results in around 8 days.

Who is it for?

This could suit you if you want a broad blood-based health check from Bluecrest but do not need the GP consultation included in the Complete Health MOT. On price and marker count, though, it is worth comparing against alternatives: Blue Horizon Medicals' Comprehensive Bronze Healthscreen and Medichecks' Advanced Essential Blood Test both cover 43 markers for £156.25 and £135 respectively, well under this test's £239, and Bluecrest's own Complete Health MOT costs £100 more but adds a doctor review and an extra marker.

How it works

This is a blood test taken by venous draw at a Bluecrest venue. The sample is analysed across the 43 markers in the panel, with results expected in around 3 to 8 days. Results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard for this package.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • 43 markers, above the 40-marker median for the advanced health checks we compare it with.
  • Covers a broad mix of areas in one appointment, including heart rhythm (ECG), lung function and peripheral arterial disease.
  • Builds in a 10-reading blood health profile covering red cells, white cells and platelets.

Cons

  • At £239, more expensive than every named peer we compare it with, including two other 43-marker panels priced well under £160.
  • No doctor review of results, unlike Bluecrest's own Complete Health MOT.
  • Still requires a venous blood draw at a Bluecrest venue rather than an at-home kit.
  • Marker list is given as grouped categories rather than a full breakdown of each of the 43 individual markers.
