About this test

This profile combines a full cholesterol panel, HbA1c, liver function markers, kidney function, iron, calcium and uric acid. Together these cover several of the more common, slow-developing health risks, from high cholesterol and undiagnosed diabetes to liver and kidney stress, in a single blood draw rather than several separate tests.

At 19 markers, this sits close to the median of 18 across the 32 general health checks we track, but its £89 price is well below their £113 median. Blue Horizon Medicals' Fingerprick Wellman and Wellwoman tests cover more, at 20 markers each for £82.25, while Better2Know's Blood Chemistry Test Nurse Kit covers fewer, at 8 markers, for £65.

value for money scores well given the below-median cost for a near-median number of markers. Clinical depth and collection convenience both score highly, reflecting the broad coverage and the finger-prick, clinic or home-visit options with results back within a day. Trust signals and results and follow-up reflect the standard CQC registration and doctor-reviewed report.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you want a broad, low-cost first look at your general health, covering cholesterol, blood sugar, liver, kidney and bone markers, rather than paying for several single-purpose tests separately.

If you want slightly more markers for a similar price, Blue Horizon Medicals' Fingerprick Wellman or Wellwoman tests cover 20 markers for £82.25, marginally less than this test's £89. If you specifically want a full blood count included as well, London Medical Laboratory's own Premier General Health Profile adds that, but needs a venous draw and costs £99.

How it works

Provide a sample via at-home finger-prick kit (plus £3.99 postage), venous draw at a partner clinic (plus £35), or a home visit from a phlebotomist. The lab runs the full panel, and a doctor reviews the results before you receive your report, typically within a day.
