We note some patients are choosing to access "Health Checks" from Private Providers.
Our experience of these providers has not been positive and we would not generally recommend this course of action.
Unfortunately we have found that unnecessary tests are carried out, with little or no clinical indication. This can cause anxiety and worry if results are abnormal. The follow up from these Providers is often inadequate, with a lack of clear explanation or management plan.
Patients are being directed back to us in any case so we would much prefer you contact us in the first instance to discuss screening options.
