24/7 GP Helpline

Your employees will receive 21 blood readings covering essential proteins, iron stores, bone health, energy and muscles, and more. As well as blood readings, the Base home test kit also includes a Musculoskeletal assessment focused on identifying back pain issues.

Virtual health coaches to guide your employees

All our home test kits come with a complimentary webcam coaching session with one of our fully trained Health Coaches. The Health Coach will take your employee step-by-step through the process of collecting their own finger-prick blood sample, to help make sample collection as comfortable and effective as comparable clinic-based test. What’s more, we’re the only supplier of home test kits to offer this beneficial service!

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.

What's included in this health

check?

Your Health Assessment includes:

Your blood test for kidney function checks your levels of sodium, urea, and creatinine as these can indicate any issues with kidney function. We also include an eGFR test (estimated glomerular filtration rate) which is a calculation of the amount of blood filtered through your kidneys over a period of time. This useful test is a measurement of how efficiently your kidneys are working.
Consultation with an experienced Emotional Wellbeing Adviser.
Mental wellbeing assessment, focussing on anxiety, depression and mood, resilience, and engagement in the workplace using GAD7 / PHQ8 / RAQ8 / Engagement
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).
ALP / ALT / Gamma GT / Bilirubin
Unlimited access to a 24/7 GP helpline for a year after your appointment. From tummy upsets to travel advice, the service even covers prescriptions.
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.
Consultation with an experienced MSK Practitioner.
You have the option of booking a virtual appointment with one of our fully trained health coaches who will guide you through the sample-collection process.
Albumin / Globulin / Total Protein / Ferritin
This test measures your risk for developing long-term back problems by calculating your Back Pain Score. It is designed to guide you in managing back problems more effectively.

Your results are processed

Within around 8 days, you can access your results report securely online. Within 21 days, your hard copy booklet will arrive by post. Each result is explained in plain English with no medical jargon and is given a flag of green, amber or red, so you can easily see any areas for concern.

I received various invitations to get checked out, but always wondered would it be worth it.... Then I just decided to do it, and honestly I couldn't be happier. The location was easy to get to. I got looked after very well, everything got explained in normal English and the details I received after were amazing. The book was really detailed and easy to understand. Will definitely recommend and do it again for myself.
