Professional laboratory and cardiology facilities

Bluecrest Wellness uses TDL (the Doctors' Laboratory), the largest independent laboratory in the UK, to process our test samples. The UK Accreditation Service (UKAS) provides accreditation to the internationally recognised ISO 15189 Medical Laboratories: Requirements for Quality and Competence standard. Results are subjected to strict internal and external quality control. We continually audit all services to ensure the highest clinical accuracy and quality.

We use a specialist Cardiology Laboratory for all cardiology work. The team use the latest telemedicine systems, which enables us to provide immediate referrals if any high-risk cardiac abnormalities are detected. Audited by some of the top Cardiologists in the UK and holding ISO9001/2000 status for Quality Assurance, you can trust the quality of your results.

What is a private health check?

A health check is a series of tests and examinations that give you an overview of your current health status. Our packages include hundreds of key health checks. From artery health, heart rhythm (resting ECG), and body composition, through to biochemistry checks for liver and kidney function, cardiovascular health, diabetes, gout, specialist cancer risk tests and more. All our tests are non-invasive and carried out by fully trained Health Assessment Specialists.

Simple booking process

It’s easy to book your appointment - simply select your package, then choose your appointment venue, date and time. Or call our friendly team on 0800 652 2183 to book over the phone.

A choice of local clinics

With over 2,000 appointments to choose from every week, including weekends and bank holidays, we aim to provide you a convenient venue within 20 minutes of your home or workplace.

Personalised results reports

Your full results report will be posted to your home within 21 days of your health check. You’ll also be able to view your test results securely online within around 8 days.

24/7 GP Helpline support

After your appointment, you'll have access to a 24/7 GP helpline for any health issue concerning you or your family - from tummy upsets to travel advice, the service even covers prescriptions.

This was my 4th medical with Bluecrest. As usual, the process was efficient and friendly. I received my online report a few days later and a hard copy by post a couple of weeks later. I requested a chat with their GP, which was efficiently arranged and who answered my questions and made recommendations in a telephone call. Prevention is better than cure, so receiving information which highlights possible problems is the best approach to your health management.
