A 27-biomarker essential health panel covering blood count, cholesterol, liver, kidneys, blood sugar, inflammation, and vitamin D.
The Essential Wellness Check is Trupoint Health’s entry-level health baseline, designed for adults who want a meaningful snapshot of their core health without the complexity of a full-body panel. It covers seven physiological systems in a single blood draw: full blood count, cholesterol and lipid profile, liver function, kidney function, blood sugar regulation (HbA1c), systemic inflammation (CRP), and vitamin D status.
Unlike standard NHS panels, this test includes vitamin D and CRP at the entry level — markers that Medichecks and Forth typically reserve for their mid-tier products. Your sample is processed at a UKAS ISO 15189-accredited UK laboratory, and every result is reviewed by a GMC-registered physician before being released to your secure online account.
This panel is ideal for adults establishing a first baseline, those returning to health monitoring after a gap, or anyone who wants a cost-effective annual check covering the markers their GP is most likely to review. Home kit collection uses a simple finger-prick sample posted by Royal Mail Tracked. Alternatively, book a mobile phlebotomist or visit a partner clinic for a venous draw.
Understand what each marker measures, why it matters, and what the science says — not just a list of numbers.
Your full blood count reveals the health and balance of your red cells, white cells, and platelets. It is one of the most clinically informative single tests available and underpins almost every routine health assessment.
Total count of infection-fighting white cells. Elevated levels may indicate infection or inflammation; low levels can reflect immune suppression or certain nutritional deficiencies.
Number of oxygen-carrying red cells per litre of blood. Low counts are associated with anaemia; high counts with dehydration or certain lung conditions.
The protein in red cells that carries oxygen around the body. The primary marker used to diagnose anaemia and assess oxygen-delivery capacity.
Proportion of blood volume occupied by red cells. Used alongside haemoglobin to characterise anaemia type and severity.
Mean corpuscular volume — the average size of your red cells. Low MCV often indicates iron deficiency; high MCV points towards B12 or folate deficiency.
Average amount of haemoglobin per red cell. Used with MCV to classify anaemia and guide further investigation.
Concentration of haemoglobin within red cells. Low values suggest iron deficiency anaemia; raised values may occur in haemolytic conditions.
Red cell distribution width — variability in red cell size. Elevated RDW can indicate mixed nutritional deficiencies or early iron or B12 deficiency.
Cell fragments responsible for blood clotting. Abnormal platelet counts can reflect bone marrow disorders, infections, or autoimmune conditions.
Your lipid profile measures how your body transports fat in the bloodstream. These markers directly reflect cardiovascular risk and respond to diet, exercise, and metabolic health changes.
Low-density lipoprotein, the primary carrier of cholesterol to tissues. Elevated LDL is the strongest modifiable risk factor for atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease.
High-density lipoprotein, which removes excess cholesterol from arterial walls. Higher HDL is protective; low HDL increases cardiovascular risk independently of LDL.
Total cholesterol minus HDL. Captures all atherogenic particles and is a better predictor of cardiovascular risk than LDL alone in many clinical guidelines.
The sum of all cholesterol fractions in the blood. Used in combination with HDL and LDL to assess overall lipid status and calculate the total:HDL ratio.
Total cholesterol divided by HDL. A ratio above 4.0 is associated with increased cardiovascular risk; a ratio below 3.5 is considered favourable.
Fat molecules circulating in the blood after meals. Persistently elevated triglycerides indicate metabolic dysfunction and independently raise cardiovascular risk.
The liver is central to metabolism, detoxification, and protein synthesis. These enzyme and protein markers identify liver stress, fatty liver disease, and alcohol-related damage before symptoms develop.
The most sensitive marker of liver cell damage. Raised ALT is the commonest early sign of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, medication toxicity, or alcohol-related liver injury.
An enzyme elevated by alcohol, medications, and bile duct obstruction. Used alongside ALT to distinguish between liver and bile duct pathology.
Produced in the liver, bone, and bile ducts. Elevated ALP in isolation often reflects bile duct disease or bone turnover rather than hepatocellular damage.
A breakdown product of haemoglobin processed by the liver. Raised bilirubin causes jaundice and can indicate haemolysis, liver disease, or bile duct obstruction.
The kidneys filter over 180 litres of blood per day. These markers assess filtering efficiency and early signs of chronic kidney disease, which is often asymptomatic until significantly advanced.
A waste product filtered by the kidneys from muscle metabolism. Rising creatinine indicates declining kidney filtering capacity and is used to calculate eGFR.
Estimated glomerular filtration rate — how much blood the kidneys filter per minute. The primary measure for staging chronic kidney disease (CKD).
A nitrogen waste product cleared by the kidneys. Elevated urea alongside raised creatinine confirms kidney impairment; it can also rise with dehydration or high protein intake.
HbA1c and CRP are two of the most clinically impactful markers in preventative medicine, reflecting average blood sugar over three months and systemic inflammation levels respectively.
Glycated haemoglobin — average blood glucose over approximately three months. The primary screening marker for pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes, unaffected by a single meal.
A protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation anywhere in the body. Elevated CRP is associated with infection, autoimmune activity, and chronic metabolic disease.
Vitamin D deficiency is extraordinarily common in the UK and underlies a wide range of symptoms from fatigue and low mood to musculoskeletal pain and immune suppression.
The stored form of vitamin D that reflects overall vitamin D status. Levels below 50 nmol/L are considered deficient in UK clinical guidelines; optimal levels typically exceed 75 nmol/L.
This panel is designed for adults who want a comprehensive, evidence-based picture of their metabolic health — not a GP referral panel.
Adults who have never had a private blood test and want a clinically meaningful starting point covering the markers their GP would typically check during a routine MOT.
Anyone who has changed their diet, started exercising, lost weight, or reduced alcohol and wants objective data to see how their cholesterol, blood sugar, and liver markers have responded.
People experiencing persistent tiredness who want to rule out anaemia, vitamin D deficiency, or blood sugar dysregulation before booking a GP appointment.
Health-conscious adults over 30 who want a yearly snapshot of their cardiovascular, liver, and kidney markers to catch slow-developing conditions before they become clinically significant.
Individuals needing documented health data for insurance purposes or those who simply want to understand their baseline before a major life event.
This panel is a screening and baselining tool, not a clinical diagnosis. Results reflect a single point in time and are interpreted against population reference ranges — most markers fluctuate with hydration, sleep, recent meals, training load, and stress. The panel does not screen for cancer, structural cardiac disease, infectious diseases, or rare metabolic disorders, and is not a substitute for age-appropriate national screening programmes such as bowel or cervical cancer screening. Reference ranges have not been validated during pregnancy. The vitamin D reference range applies to adults and may differ in children. Always discuss out-of-range results with a clinician who has access to your full medical history and current medications.
From order to physician-reviewed report in as little as three working days.
Your kit is dispatched next working day by Royal Mail Tracked 24 in a discreet, plain outer envelope. It contains everything you need for a fingerstick collection.
Follow the step-by-step guide included in your kit. A small fingertip blood sample is collected into a microtainer tube, sealed, and posted back using the prepaid return label.
Your sample arrives at our partner UKAS ISO 15189-accredited laboratory, where it is barcoded, logged, and processed on a validated clinical analyser platform.
A GMC-registered physician reviews all 27 results and adds clinical commentary where markers are outside the reference range. Your report is then released to your secure online account.

Contact supportNo. This panel is ordered on your behalf by a GMC-registered physician on the Trupoint Health network. There is no GP referral required, no waiting list, and no appointment necessary for the home kit option. You simply place your order, collect your sample when your kit arrives, and post it back. Your results are reviewed by a physician and released to your secure account. If anything is clinically significant, the reviewing physician will flag it clearly in your report with recommended next steps, which may include a follow-up with your GP.
No. This panel provides a blood-based snapshot of 27 biomarkers at a single point in time. Results are reviewed by a GMC-registered physician and interpreted against population reference ranges, but they are not equivalent to a clinical diagnosis. Many markers fluctuate based on hydration, sleep, stress, and recent food or exercise. An out-of-range result on a single test requires clinical context to interpret. The report will clearly indicate which results fall outside the reference range and provide guidance on appropriate next steps, but you should always discuss abnormal results with a clinician who has access to your full medical history.
An NHS full blood count or routine panel typically covers 10 to 14 markers, requires a GP referral, and results may take one to two weeks to reach you via your GP surgery. This panel covers 27 markers across seven physiological systems, requires no referral, and returns physician-reviewed results within 3 to 5 working days. It also includes vitamin D and CRP, which are not routinely included in standard NHS panels. The Trupoint panel is designed to complement NHS care, not replace it. If your results indicate a condition that requires treatment, we recommend taking your report to your GP.
Samples are processed at our partner UKAS ISO 15189-accredited laboratory in the United Kingdom. Your personal data and health information are stored and processed in accordance with UK GDPR. We do not share your results with any third party without your explicit consent — including your GP, employer, or insurance company. Your online account is secured with industry-standard encryption. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting our patient services team. We do not sell data to third parties.
For most healthy adults, an annual check using this panel is appropriate for tracking trends over time. However, if you have recently made significant lifestyle changes such as losing weight, changing your diet, or starting a statin or blood pressure medication, retesting after 8 to 12 weeks allows you to see whether those changes have had a measurable effect on your blood markers. If your initial results show borderline or elevated markers, your physician’s commentary will recommend a timeframe for follow-up. There is no clinical reason to test more frequently than every 8 weeks for the markers in this panel.
Any result that falls into a clinically critical range is escalated to the reviewing physician immediately upon processing. The physician will contact you directly by telephone or email — usually within the same working day — to discuss the result and advise on next steps. For the vast majority of users, results will be within or close to the normal reference range. Mildly out-of-range results are flagged in your report with clinical commentary. If you have a pre-existing condition that makes certain abnormal results likely, please note this when placing your order so the reviewing physician has appropriate context.
