Emotional wellbeing support from experienced professionals
The Base home test kit includes a series of clinical questionnaires to assess the levels of anxiety, depression, resilience, and engagement in your workforce. Your employees complete each questionnaire confidentially and securely online, at their own pace, on their personal My Wellness account. On top of the online resources, your employees can also arrange a private 30-minute telephone consultation with an experienced Emotional Wellbeing Adviser to talk through their feelings. During the consultation, the adviser will share coping strategies and practical advice to help employees better manage their mental wellbeing.
Comprehensive results at a click of a button
Once your employees post their completed kits in the nearest post box (free return postage included!) they will be able to access their results within 8 days of receipt at the lab. Full results are available to view securely online via My Wellness. In addition to viewing results digitally, My Wellness contains useful tips and advice helping your workforce to improve their health and wellbeing.
MSK – helping employees return to work with back pain
Musculoskeletal issues and back pain are one of the biggest reasons for sickness absence in the UK and affect around 8 out of 10 of us at some point, which is why our home test kits come with a Musculoskeletal health assessment designed to troubleshoot problems, focused on back pain, and help people manage their symptoms and risk.
Also included is a musculoskeletal wellbeing consultation – a half hour session with a musculoskeletal expert to provide professional advice and guidance for the effective management of aches and pains and assessment and signposting for further treatment. With the right guidance and support at the right time most people with back pain can get back to their usual activities and back to work sooner.
If you’re wanting to offer your workforce a more comprehensive package with a full blood count and thyroid function test, you may want to consider the Extra and Total home test kits.

Your cholesterol test, also called lipid panel, measures Triglycerides, High Density Lipoprotein (HDL), and Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) in your blood. LDL cholesterol is often referred to as bad cholesterol because high levels contribute to fatty build-ups in the arteries and increase the risk of heart attack, stroke and peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
This test measures the levels of calcium, phosphate and uric acid in your blood. Calcium and phosphate are essential for muscle and nerve function, healthy teeth and bones, and energy function. Deficiencies in these can cause pins and needles, muscle cramps, weakness and tiredness. Uric acid helps test for gout, a painful condition affecting the joints in your body.
