A 27-marker blood panel covering cholesterol, thyroid, kidney and liver function, inflammation, iron and vitamin D, aimed at adults who want a broad check without an overwhelming marker count.
27 biomarkers as listed by Selph.
7 Simple Checks measures 27 biomarkers grouped into seven areas: cholesterol and related ratios, thyroid hormones, kidney markers (creatinine, eGFR, urea), liver enzymes, iron status (ferritin), inflammation (CRP), blood sugar (HbA1c) and vitamin D, plus vitamin B12 and general protein markers. These are standard measures used to get an overview of metabolic, thyroid, liver and kidney health in one round of testing.
Against the 21 tests we track in the advanced health check (26 to 50 marker) group, this panel sits below the median on marker count, with 27 markers against a median of 40, and above the median on price, at £179 against a median of £159. Cheaper panels in the same group offer more markers: Medichecks' Essential Blood Test costs £89 for 38 markers, and Bluecrest Wellness' Advanced Biochemistry Profile costs £90 for 26.
That combination is why it scores well on Collection Convenience and Trust Signals, which max out because you can choose a finger-prick, Tasso EasyDraw, clinic or nurse home visit and results return in 1 to 2 days, but only middling on Clinical Depth and value for money. Results and Follow-up scores well because a doctor reviews every result.
This suits you if you want a single at-home blood test covering several body systems at once and prefer flexibility over collection method, including the option of a nurse visiting you at home. If marker count per pound matters more to you, Medichecks' Essential Blood Test (£89, 38 markers) or Bluecrest Wellness' Advanced Biochemistry Profile (£90, 26 markers) cover similar ground for less.
You can collect your own sample at home with a finger-prick kit at no extra cost, or pay more for the Tasso EasyDraw device, a clinic visit or a nurse to draw blood at home or work; you can also arrange your own venous draw. Once your sample reaches the lab, a Selph doctor reviews the results and produces a written report, which is shared with you online within 1 to 2 days.
The 7 Simple Checks panel covers 27 biomarkers across cholesterol, thyroid, kidney, liver, iron and vitamin D for £179. That is more expensive than most comparably sized general health panels, several of which cover more markers for under £100, including Medichecks' 38-marker Essential Blood Test at £89. The main advantage is the choice of collection methods and a 1 to 2 day turnaround with doctor review included.
