Health Check Blood Test UK
Your Annual Health Check Blood Test — The Health MOT You Deserve
You service your car every year. Why not your body? Our comprehensive health check blood tests cover up to 70 biomarkers — giving you the data you need to stay ahead of potential health issues.
Why Get a Health Check Blood Test?
Most of us only visit the doctor when something feels wrong. But many serious health conditions — high cholesterol, diabetes, thyroid disorders, vitamin deficiencies — develop silently over months or years without obvious symptoms. By the time you notice something is off, the condition may already be advanced.
A health check blood test is preventative healthcare at its best. It gives you a comprehensive baseline of your health today, so you can spot problems early, track changes over time, and make informed decisions about your diet, lifestyle, and supplements.
Think of it as your annual health MOT. Just as your car needs regular checks to catch worn brake pads or low oil before they cause a breakdown, your body benefits from regular monitoring to catch elevated cholesterol, declining vitamin D, or shifting thyroid function before they cause real damage.
What Does a Health Check Blood Test Measure?
Our health check blood tests are designed to give you a thorough picture of your overall health. Depending on the panel you choose, your test covers:
- Heart Health — Cholesterol (total, HDL, LDL), triglycerides, and cardiovascular risk ratios
- Liver Function — ALT, AST, GGT, ALP, bilirubin, albumin — detecting early signs of liver stress
- Kidney Function — Creatinine, eGFR, urea, uric acid — checking your kidneys are filtering properly
- Thyroid Health — TSH, free T3, free T4, and antibodies — a full thyroid MOT, not just the basic TSH
- Vitamins & Nutrition — Vitamin D, B12, folate, ferritin, iron — spotting deficiencies that sap energy and immunity
- Hormones — Testosterone, oestradiol, cortisol, DHEA-S — understanding your hormonal balance
- Diabetes Screening — HbA1c and fasting glucose — catching pre-diabetes and diabetes risk early
- Inflammation — CRP, ESR — markers that signal chronic inflammation or infection
- Full Blood Count — Red cells, white cells, platelets — the foundation of any health check

View TestWhen Should You Get a Health Check?
We recommend an annual health check blood test for everyone over 25. However, there are certain life events and situations where testing is particularly valuable:
Starting a new health regime
Get a baseline before changing your diet, starting supplements, or beginning an exercise programme so you can measure the impact.
Turning 30, 40, 50+
Hormone levels, cholesterol, and metabolic markers shift with age. Regular testing helps you stay on top of these changes.
Family history of illness
If heart disease, diabetes, or thyroid conditions run in your family, proactive monitoring is essential.
Feeling tired, sluggish, or “off”
Fatigue, brain fog, and low mood can all stem from vitamin deficiencies, thyroid issues, or hormonal imbalance that a blood test can identify.
Annual check-up
Even if you feel perfectly healthy, an annual test helps catch silent conditions before they become serious.

The NHS Health Check is a valuable programme, but it is only available to people aged 40-74 and is offered once every five years with a limited set of markers. Our health check blood tests are available to everyone, cover far more biomarkers, and can be taken as often as you like — giving you real, actionable health data year-round.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a health check blood test?
A health check blood test is a comprehensive panel that measures multiple biomarkers across your body's key systems — including cholesterol, liver, kidney, thyroid, vitamins, hormones, and diabetes risk. It gives you a thorough snapshot of your overall health, similar to an MOT for your body.
How often should I get a health check blood test?
We recommend at least once a year for a general health screen. If you are actively monitoring a condition, making lifestyle changes, or have a family history of certain conditions, testing every 3-6 months can be beneficial.
Is this suitable as a full body health check?
Yes. Our 70-biomarker Peak Insights test is the closest you can get to a full body health check via a blood test. It covers all major organ systems, hormones, vitamins, and metabolic markers. For non-blood checks (e.g., imaging), you would need to visit a clinic.
Can I use my results for an insurance medical?
Our results are from UKAS-accredited labs and reviewed by qualified doctors, but insurance companies may require tests from their own approved providers. We recommend checking with your insurer first. Our results are excellent for personal health monitoring and GP discussions.
What if I am under 25 — can I still test?
Absolutely. There is no minimum age for our health checks (though we recommend them for adults 18+). Reference ranges are based on adult populations, and our doctors take age into account when reviewing your results.
Do I need to fast before the test?
Yes, we recommend an 8-12 hour fast before collection (water is fine). This gives the most accurate results for cholesterol, blood sugar, and metabolic markers. Collect your sample first thing in the morning before breakfast for best results.
