A 47-marker general health check covering heart, liver, kidney, thyroid, muscle, nutrition, immune and hormone markers, requiring a nurse or clinic blood draw.
This is Forth's broadest general health panel, covering heart, liver and kidney function, thyroid, muscle health, nutrition status, immune markers and hormones across 47 biomarkers in total. It is aimed at people who want a wide-ranging snapshot of their health rather than checking a specific concern.
Among the 21 advanced health checks we track, this has slightly more markers than most, sitting above the median of 40, but it is priced far above every peer: £399 against a group median of £159. The closest peer on depth, Blue Horizon Medicals' Comprehensive Bronze Healthscreen, covers 43 markers for £156.25, and Medichecks' Advanced Essential Blood Test covers 43 markers for £135. Both are less than half the price for close to the same marker count.
value for money is the weakest part of the score by a wide margin, 151% above the group median. Collection convenience also scores low, since there is no self-collection option, only a nurse visit or clinic venous draw, and results take around 15 days, much longer than most Forth tests. Clinical depth scores well on marker count, though clarity is limited because the full list of 47 markers is not published by name.
This suits you only if you specifically want this test from Forth and are not price-sensitive. For a similar marker count at a fraction of the cost, Blue Horizon Medicals' Comprehensive Bronze Healthscreen (£156.25, 43 markers) or Medichecks' Advanced Essential Blood Test (£135, 43 markers) are worth comparing first.
You provide a sample via a home nurse visit or a venous draw at a partner clinic; there is no self-collection option for this test. The lab analyses 47 markers covering heart, liver, kidney, thyroid, muscle, nutrition, immune and hormone health, and a doctor reviews your results. Turnaround is around 15 days, longer than most Forth tests.
This 47-marker health check costs £399, 151% above the £159 median across the 21 advanced health checks we compare, and more than double the price of the next most expensive peer, Blue Horizon's Comprehensive Bronze Healthscreen at £156.25 for 43 markers. It requires a nurse visit or clinic draw, takes around 15 days, and includes a doctor review.
