Mens Health Check | Well Man Medical

FAQs

What is a Well Man Medical?

A Well Man Medical is essentially a full body MOT, an in-depth health assessment designed specifically for men to help detect any medical issues at an early stage and give you peace of mind about your health. 

Heart disease, testicular cancer, and prostate cancer are serious health risks for men and we believe that a regular health check offers the best chance of early detection. These are relatively common problems but often go undetected, and untreated, until it is too late to give adequate and sometimes life-saving treatment.

In addition to detecting existing conditions, well man checks can also ease any anxiety or concern you may have about your health. Anxiety can often do more harm than good and a well man medical can reassure you about your health and provide you with information and advice to keep yourself healthy in the future.

Gold Well Man Medical | £399.00

An in-depth look at your wellbeing, Summerfield Healthcare’s gold well man medical helps you identify common health issues, and gives you a broad overview of your health. Our nurse will conduct a range of tests, followed by a physical examination by one of our experienced GPs. The gold well man medical consists of the following tests and examinations:

• 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.
• ECG: An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a straight forward test that can be used to check your heart’s rhythm and electrical activity. It can help detect arrhythmias, coronary heart disease, heart attacks and cardiomyopathy. 
• Blood tests: A well man blood test profile focuses on bodily functions vital to a healthy lifestyle and includes: Full Blood count, CRP, Renal Function, Liver Function, Uric Acid, Lipids, Haematinics, HbA1c, Thyroid (FT4, TSH), Active B12, Folate, Vitamin D. We also test for PSA levels (Prostate Specific Antigen).

GP Checks & Follow up

• 15 minute GP consultation/examination: On top of the clinical assessments conducted by our nurse, our GP will also give you a thorough physical examination.
• Prostate examination: Our GP will conduct a DRE (digital rectal examination) to check the health of your prostate and determine if there is any concern of an enlarged prostate and potential for prostate cancer, which is a common form of cancer among men. (You can opt out of this if you prefer).
• Testicular examination: Often neglected, it is important to regularly check your testicles, our GP will conduct a testicular examination and advise you on how best to check your testicles yourself going forward. The GP will make you aware of any lumps or concerns. (You can opt out of this if you prefer).
• 15 minute follow up call: As part of your assessment you will receive up to 15 minutes on a follow up call from our GP once we have received your blood test results and compiled your report.

Your results are sent to you in the form of a traffic light report which our GP will discuss with you in detail.
