How can I check my full body health?
Understanding your body’s health is key to maintaining long-term wellbeing. A full body health check provides an overview of how your organs and systems are performing, highlighting early warning signs before symptoms appear. It’s an effective way to stay informed, take preventive action and track your health over time.
What is a full body health check?
A full body health check, also known as a health assessment or health MOT, involves a range of tests designed to evaluate your overall health. It measures key indicators such as heart, liver, kidney and thyroid function, as well as cholesterol, diabetes risk, vitamin and mineral levels, and more.
At Bluecrest Wellness, our full body health checks are non-invasive, quick, and available at over 350 locations across the UK and Ireland. They’re designed for busy people who want to stay in control of their health without long wait times or GP referrals.
What does a full body health assessment include?
Every health MOT package includes a selection of blood and non-blood tests, chosen to give a complete overview of your body’s major systems.
Typical tests include:
-
Cholesterol and lipid profile – measures good and bad cholesterol levels.
-
Diabetes risk check – assesses glucose and HbA1c to identify elevated sugar levels.
-
Kidney and liver function – checks how well these vital organs are working.
-
Heart and circulatory health – includes blood pressure, heart rhythm (ECG) and arterial health.
-
Nutritional balance – evaluates vitamin D, B12, folate and iron stores.
-
Thyroid function – measures hormone levels affecting metabolism and energy.
You can also add extra tests, such as hormone or advanced heart profiles, to tailor your assessment to your health goals.
How does a full body health check work?
A health check is simple and stress-free:
1. Book your appointment – choose a convenient venue and time that fits your schedule.
2. Attend your appointment – a trained health specialist will take your measurements and collect your blood sample. The process takes around 20–30 minutes.
3. Receive your results – your personalised Results Report is uploaded to your secure My Wellness dashboard, with the option of a printed copy. Most results are ready within 8 days.
Each report clearly flags results as green, amber or red, with explanations and advice on next steps - whether that’s lifestyle adjustments or a GP follow-up.
Why should you have a full body health assessment?
A health assessment helps you make informed decisions about your wellbeing. It can:
-
Detect risk factors for common conditions early.
-
Support proactive lifestyle changes before symptoms develop.
-
Provide a measurable baseline for tracking your health year to year.
-
Offer reassurance when everything is within healthy ranges.
-
Save time and money through early detection rather than treatment.
Regular assessments encourage a more preventive approach to health, helping you stay well, rather than waiting until something goes wrong.
Who should get a health check?
Health checks are suitable for any adult who wants to take charge of their health. They’re especially valuable if you:
-
Have a family history of heart disease, diabetes or other chronic conditions.
-
Are over 40, or younger with additional risk factors.
-
Take regular medication.
-
Have lifestyle risks such as a sedentary job, smoking or high stress.
Anyone aged 18 and above can benefit from having their key health markers assessed regularly.

FAQs
What age should I start having full body health checks?
Most people benefit from starting around age 40, though anyone over 18 can have one. If you have risk factors like family history, obesity or high stress, start earlier.
How long does a health check take?
Appointments usually take 20-30 minutes. You’ll get your results within a week, often sooner.
Can I eat before my health assessment?
Some blood tests require fasting, but not all. Your appointment confirmation will include instructions if fasting is needed.
What happens if my results show a concern?
If any results are outside the normal range, your report will include clear explanations and recommendations. For serious findings, Bluecrest will contact you immediately.
Can I add extra tests to my health check?
Yes. You can include additional blood tests such as hormone, vitamin or advanced heart profiles. Just book your full body assessment and call before your appointment to add extras.
