 An Essential Health Screen is one of the most important decisions you can make to better understand your personal health problems and current health status.
The doctors at MediClinic will help you identify aspects of your lifestyle that might be putting you at risk, and provide you with guidelines to make the necessary changes to improve your health. Most importantly, health screens could lead to early detection of disease and present you with the opportunity to deal with health problems early on.
The Essential Health Screen (£300) lasts about 1 hour with the full screen completed by the Doctor and it covers the following areas:
- Questionnaire and discussion of medical history
- Full physical examination including rectal examination for patients over the age of 45
