A full body health check is one of the smartest investments you can make in your own wellbeing. It is your chance to catch potential problems early — before they become serious — and to get a clear, data-driven picture of your overall health. At Clinique Alpa in Palmers Green, our comprehensive health screening packages are designed to do exactly that.
Why Have a Health Check?
Many of the most dangerous conditions — high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, liver disease, thyroid disorders, and certain cancers — develop silently. You can feel perfectly well and still have a condition that, if left undetected, could cause serious harm. A health check finds these issues early, when they are most treatable.
The NHS Health Check programme covers adults aged 40 to 74, but it is limited in scope and only offered every five years. A private health check goes further, testing more biomarkers, and can be done at any age, at any time.
What Is Included in Our Health Check?
At Clinique Alpa, a full body health check includes a detailed face-to-face consultation with Dr Parmar, a comprehensive blood panel covering over 40 biomarkers, a physical examination including blood pressure, heart rate, BMI, and abdominal assessment, urinalysis, and a personalised report with actionable recommendations.
Our blood panel typically covers full blood count, liver and kidney function, thyroid function, HbA1c, lipid profile, vitamin D, B12, folate, iron studies, inflammatory markers, and PSA for men over 50. Additional tests can be added based on your individual risk profile.
Well Man and Well Woman Checks
We offer tailored screening packages for both men and women, recognising that health risks differ between sexes and change with age. Our well man check focuses on cardiovascular risk, prostate health, testosterone levels, and metabolic markers. Our well woman check includes hormonal assessment, fertility markers where relevant, cervical and breast health discussion, and bone health screening for those approaching or past menopause.
Who Should Get a Health Check?
Everyone over 30 would benefit from a baseline health screen, with annual or biennial checks recommended from age 40. However, you might consider a health check sooner if you have a family history of heart disease, cancer, or diabetes; if you are feeling persistently tired, stressed, or unwell; if you have not seen a doctor in over a year; or if you are starting a new fitness regime and want a baseline.
