About Bluecrest - helping you to live healthier for longer
Who we are
Bluecrest is the health intelligence company. Since 2012, we’ve been helping people more than one million people across the UK and Ireland live healthier for longer, by making personal private health assessments easy, affordable and accessible. Our purpose is simple: to give everyone confidence in their health. We believe that understanding what’s happening inside your body (the good and the could be better) is the smartest way to take control of your future wellbeing.
What we do
We provide comprehensive, personalised health assessments that go beyond a single snapshot. Our approach combines accurate testing, clear insights and ongoing monitoring, so you can track trends over time and make informed decisions.

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 results will be available 24/7 through ‘My Wellness’, our online dashboard and app. You will receive an email notification as soon as your results are available. Processing times vary by test, with some results accessible on the dashboard in as little as three 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.
