Sometimes your body tells you something is off — persistent tiredness, a nagging sense that things aren’t quite right — but your GP waiting list is long and your concerns feel hard to pin down. A private General Health & Wellbeing Screen gives you a comprehensive, evidence-based picture of your health right now, without the wait and without needing a referral.

This panel is Trupoint Health’s most thorough starting point. It tests the key systems that underpin your overall wellbeing — your blood, liver, kidneys, heart, thyroid, blood sugar, and inflammatory markers — giving you a reliable baseline and the clarity to take action if anything needs attention.

Whether you are feeling unwell and want answers, or you are simply someone who believes in staying ahead of their health, this screen was designed for you. Our qualified, experienced phlebotomists carry out every test with care, and results are returned securely within 24–48 hours.

What Does the General Health & Wellbeing Screen Include?

This panel covers seven key areas of health, each assessed through clinically recognised blood markers. Together, they provide a detailed picture of how your body is functioning across its most important systems.

Full Blood Count (FBC)

The Full Blood Count measures your red blood cells, white blood cells, haemoglobin, and platelets. It is one of the most informative tests in medicine. Abnormal results can indicate anaemia, infection, immune system disorders, or, in some cases, more serious conditions that warrant further investigation. If you have been feeling unusually tired or run down, the FBC is often the first place to look.

Liver Function Tests (LFTs)

Your liver is responsible for hundreds of metabolic processes, and it rarely causes obvious symptoms until it is under significant strain. This panel measures five key markers — ALT, AST, ALP, bilirubin, and albumin — to assess how well your liver is coping. Elevated results can indicate fatty liver disease, alcohol-related damage, or the effect of medications on liver tissue. Catching early signs of liver stress gives you time to act before problems become serious.

Kidney Function (U&Es)

Your kidneys filter waste products from the blood continuously, and early kidney disease is almost always silent. We measure creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urea, and electrolyte levels to assess how efficiently your kidneys are working. Abnormal results can flag early chronic kidney disease, dehydration, or electrolyte imbalances — all of which respond well to intervention when caught early.

Cholesterol and Lipid Profile

We measure total cholesterol, LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, HDL (“good”) cholesterol, and triglycerides — the four components that together determine your cardiovascular risk profile. High LDL and low HDL increase the risk of arterial plaque and heart disease. This test provides a meaningful, actionable risk assessment rather than a single number in isolation.

Blood Sugar (Glucose / HbA1c)

Blood glucose and HbA1c together provide a full picture of your blood sugar regulation. HbA1c reflects your average blood sugar over the previous two to three months and is the gold-standard test for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes. Fasting glucose gives an immediate snapshot. Together, these markers can identify pre-diabetes before it progresses, giving you the opportunity to make changes while they still matter.

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

TSH is the primary screening marker for thyroid dysfunction. An elevated TSH points towards an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism); a suppressed TSH suggests an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism). Both conditions are common, both are treatable, and both are frequently missed because their symptoms — fatigue, weight changes, mood shifts — overlap with many other issues. Including TSH in your general screen ensures thyroid dysfunction is not overlooked.

C-Reactive Protein (CRP)

CRP is an inflammation marker produced by the liver in response to infection, injury, or chronic low-grade inflammation. Persistently elevated CRP — even at low levels — is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and is associated with several chronic conditions. It provides important context to the other results in your panel.

All tests are carried out by our qualified phlebotomists and analysed by accredited laboratories.

Who Should Consider a General Health & Wellbeing Screen?

This panel suits a wide range of people, and you do not need to be unwell to book it. Many of our clients come to us feeling vaguely below par — perhaps persistently fatigued, prone to illness, or simply aware that they have not had a proper health check in years. The General Health & Wellbeing Screen is the ideal starting point for anyone who wants clear answers rather than continued uncertainty.

It is particularly valuable for adults over 30 who have never had a comprehensive baseline reading, and for those over 40 who want to proactively monitor key health indicators before risk factors become problems. If you have a family history of diabetes, heart disease, thyroid conditions, or liver disease, this screen will flag whether those risks are beginning to express themselves in your own results.

People who are under significant stress, eating poorly, or dealing with disrupted sleep patterns often find their results reflect these pressures in ways they hadn’t anticipated. Likewise, anyone who has been feeling low in energy, struggling with unexplained weight changes, or noticing changes in their skin, hair, or mood will find this panel a productive first investigation.

This screen is also popular as an annual health MOT — a disciplined, evidence-based check-in that many of our clients treat as a non-negotiable part of their year.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

Your appointment is straightforward and typically takes no more than 15 minutes from arrival to leaving. When you arrive at the clinic, our phlebotomist will confirm your details, explain the process, and answer any questions you have before beginning.

The blood draw itself involves a small needle into a vein, usually in the crease of the elbow. Most clients find it causes only minimal, brief discomfort. We take only the volume of blood needed for your panel — typically a few small vials.

For the most accurate results from the cholesterol and blood sugar components of this panel, we recommend attending on an empty stomach. A 9–12 hour fast (water is fine) before your appointment ensures that triglyceride and glucose readings are not skewed by a recent meal. If fasting is not possible, please let us know at the time of booking and we can advise accordingly.

Once your sample is dispatched to our accredited laboratory, results are typically available within 24–48 hours and delivered securely to your personal online portal. If any result falls outside the normal reference range, a clear explanation will accompany the figure, and you are welcome to contact our team to discuss your results and next steps.

General Health & Wellbeing Screen — Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a GP referral for a General Health & Wellbeing Screen?

No. One of the key advantages of booking with Trupoint Health is that no GP referral is required. You can book directly online at a time that suits you. This means you can access a comprehensive health screen without waiting for a GP appointment first — particularly valuable when you want answers quickly or when NHS waiting times are a barrier.

How quickly will I receive my results?

Results are typically available within 24–48 hours of your appointment. Once your sample reaches our accredited laboratory, analysis is processed promptly. Results are delivered securely to your personal online portal, with each marker clearly explained alongside standard reference ranges so you can understand what your results mean.

Do I need to fast before my General Health & Wellbeing Screen?

We recommend fasting for 9–12 hours before your appointment for the most accurate readings from the cholesterol and blood sugar components of the panel. Water is absolutely fine to drink — staying hydrated actually makes the blood draw easier. If fasting is not possible due to medical reasons or medication requirements, please advise us at the time of booking and we will guide you accordingly.

How much does a private General Health & Wellbeing Screen cost?

Trupoint Health offers transparent, fixed pricing with no hidden fees. The price you see when booking is the price you pay. Please visit our booking page for current pricing, or contact our team if you have questions. We believe in straightforward, honest pricing — there are no surprise charges added at the point of care.

What happens if my results show something abnormal?

Every result outside the standard reference range is clearly flagged and accompanied by a plain-language explanation within your results portal. We recommend that you share any abnormal results with your GP, who can advise on next steps, further investigation, or treatment. Our team is also available to answer questions about your results and to help you understand what they may mean for your health.

Is my information kept confidential?

Absolutely. Trupoint Health is fully compliant with UK GDPR and registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). Your personal and health information is stored securely, never shared with third parties without your explicit consent, and handled with strict professional confidentiality. Your GP will not be informed of your results unless you choose to share them yourself.

What is the difference between a full blood count and a full health screen?

A Full Blood Count (FBC) is a single test that examines your red cells, white cells, haemoglobin, and platelets. Our General Health & Wellbeing Screen includes the FBC but goes considerably further — adding liver function, kidney function, cholesterol, blood sugar, thyroid, and inflammation markers. It provides a comprehensive, multi-system overview rather than a single measurement.

I feel fine — is there any point in having a health screen?

Many of the conditions this panel is designed to detect — early kidney disease, raised cholesterol, pre-diabetes, thyroid dysfunction — produce no obvious symptoms in their early stages. A health screen is most powerful precisely when you feel well, because it establishes a baseline and catches problems before symptoms appear. Preventive health investment consistently delivers better outcomes than reactive treatment.
