Bluecrest or Nuffield? Discover the Best Value Health Assessment

Exceptional value, closer to home

If you are looking for a private health check like the Nuffield 360 Health Assessment but want a more affordable option, Bluecrest Wellness delivers exceptional quality at a lower price.

With more than 400 venues across the UK and Ireland, Bluecrest provides comprehensive in-person health assessments that are flexible, accessible, and designed around your lifestyle. You will receive your results quickly, often within three days, along with a detailed report and free access to a 24-hour GP helpline for a full year.

Bluecrest: The Affordable Alternative to Nuffield Health Checks

When you compare the Nuffield Health Assessment range to Bluecrest, the difference in value is clear. Bluecrest packages start from £169 and include a wide selection of essential medical checks.

By contrast, the Nuffield 360 Health Assessment starts at £819. Our Active Health MOT includes many of the same tests, such as ECG, diabetes, liver and kidney function, heart and lung health, all for less than a quarter of the price.

Bluecrest vs Nuffield: Key Feature Comparison

While both Bluecrest and Nuffield offer comprehensive health assessments, the Bluecrest Active Package stands out as a more accessible and value-driven option. At just £169, it includes a wide range of checks, from advanced diabetes screening and ECG to a Peripheral Arterial Disease check and 24/7 GP helpline, that support proactive health management.

Nuffield’s 360 Package also offers robust coverage, but at £819, it may be less suitable for those seeking a more affordable yet thorough alternative. Bluecrest’s combination of essential tests and ongoing support makes it a smart choice for individuals looking to stay on top of their health without compromising on quality.
