Annual Health Test

A 39-marker blood panel covering cholesterol, liver function, iron, vitamins and a full blood count, collected by a visiting phlebotomist. Suited to a broad annual check-up rather than a specific symptom.

About this test

The Annual Health Test covers 39 markers, including a full lipid profile (LDL, HDL, non-HDL cholesterol and triglycerides), liver enzymes (ALT, ALP, AST, GGT and bilirubin), a full blood count, iron and ferritin status, active vitamin B12, vitamin D, folate, HbA1c and hs-CRP for inflammation. Together these are commonly used to build a broad picture of metabolic, liver, blood and nutritional health rather than to investigate one specific symptom.

Against the 26-50 marker comparison group we track, its 39 markers sit close to the group median of 40, so depth is about average for this size of panel. Price is where it stands out: at £175 it is above the group median of £159 and higher than all eight peers in the group, including Blue Horizon Medicals' 43-marker Comprehensive Bronze Healthscreen at £156.25.

It scores well for Trust signals, reflecting YorkTest's Trustpilot rating of 4.8 from 3,257 reviews, its UKAS-accredited own laboratory, and 44 years of trading since 1982. It scores poorly for Collection convenience because it needs a venous blood draw taken in person rather than a self-collected finger-prick sample, and for Results and follow-up because, like all YorkTest tests, results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.

Who is it for?

This suits people who want a single wide-ranging check across cholesterol, liver, iron, vitamins and blood cell counts, and who don't mind booking a phlebotomist visit rather than doing a finger-prick sample at home. Because it costs more than every peer in its comparison group, it is not the choice if price is the main concern; Blue Horizon Medicals' Comprehensive Bronze Healthscreen at £156.25 for 43 markers, or London Medical Laboratory's Well Person Premier Plus Profile at £119 for 39 markers, both cost less for a similar or larger marker count. If you specifically want a doctor to review your results, this test does not include that as standard.

How it works

You book a phlebotomist visit to your home or workplace for a venous blood draw; no clinic trip is required. The sample is sent to YorkTest's own UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. Results are presented as traffic-light values and are available online through your Wellness Hub account within around 7 days. Results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Covers 39 markers in one panel, including full blood count, liver function, iron status and key vitamins.

  • Results delivered as easy-to-read traffic-light values via an online Wellness Hub account.
  • Turnaround is a stated 7 days.

Cons

  • At £175 it is the most expensive test in its 26-50 marker comparison group.
