Health Checks, Well Man & Woman Medicals in Shrewsbury & Wolverhampton

Advanced health check

The Summerfield Healthcare advanced health check is a 20 minute nurse led assessment and our entry level health screening. This health screening includes an assessment of your blood pressure, cardiovascular risk, BMI and breathing airflow. A check for diabetes and raised cholesterol is also undertaken, with the results being available within minutes of the test. The assessment also encompasses a lifestyle and mental health assessment.

The advanced health check is conducted at our clinics in Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton or at your workplace if you have a number of assessments that need to be completed.

More information on each section of the health check is available below:

• Pre health check questionnaires: Lifestyle and mental health assessments are completed prior to your health check which gives our clinician an insight into your physical and mental health.

Nurse tests

• Blood Glucose and Cholesterol levels: A skin prick test will pinpoint your exact blood sugar levels and identify risk of elevated blood glucose which can be problematic if at a high level for a long period of time. In addition we check your cholesterol, helping to spot the early signs of heart disease or diabetes, this is crucially important due to high cholesterol itself not having symptoms.
• BMI: Our nurse will check your body mass index which indicates whether your weight is healthy and if you have excess waist fat. An unhealthy BMI can increase risk of type 2 diabetes and some cancers.
• Blood pressure: A straightforward test checks your blood pressure levels and highlights hypertension (elevated blood pressure) which can put a strain on your arteries and organs, leading to an increased risk of heart attacks/strokes.
• Breathing airflow: The peak flow check measures the speed of your breathing, your score can indicate narrow airways and potential lung problems such as asthma.
• Cardiovascular Risk Assessment: As important as any clinical test, the assessment establishes risk factors for cardiovascular disease such as blood pressure, cholesterol levels, smoking status, family history, age and gender. The assessment not only calculates risk of cardiovascular disease within the next 10 years, but throughout your whole life time.
• Pulse rate: Using an oximeter our nurse will check your blood oxygen saturation level, helping to detect any abnormal pulse readings.
• Urinalysis: A comprehensive urine sample screening detecting a range of elements such as blood, specific gravity and protein levels.

A comprehensive and personalised health report is formulated following the assessment and given to you on the day of your assessment.

The cost of the Advanced Health Check is £149.00.

If you require multiple assessments at your workplace please get in touch with our team for more information about a Summerfield Healthcare nurse coming to your site.
