Gold Medical Centre provides private health checks and health screening in Enfield, North London, with a range of blood test packages designed to assess important markers of your general health.
Depending on the health screening package selected, testing may include markers relating to blood count, kidney function, liver function, cholesterol, blood glucose, thyroid function, iron levels and other areas of health.
Health screening may be useful if you would like a broader overview of your health, want to monitor particular risk factors or have been advised to undergo specific blood tests.
The most appropriate tests depend on factors including your age, sex, medical history, symptoms and individual risk factors. If you are unsure which health check is appropriate, our medical team can advise you.
A private health check provides an opportunity to assess a range of health markers, even when you are not currently experiencing symptoms.
Blood testing can provide useful information about different areas of your health and may identify results that require further assessment, monitoring or discussion with a healthcare professional.
The exact tests included depend on the health screening package selected.
At Gold Medical Centre, patients can choose from a range of screening profiles according to their individual circumstances.
A health screening package may include several different blood tests. Depending on the package selected, these may include:
A Full Blood Count measures different components of the blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.
It can provide information relevant to a range of health concerns and is commonly included as part of general health screening.
Kidney function blood tests measure markers such as creatinine, urea and electrolytes to provide information about kidney function and fluid and electrolyte balance.
Liver function testing measures several enzymes, proteins and other markers that can provide information about liver health and function.
Cholesterol testing can include total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglycerides, depending on the selected package.
These measurements can contribute to the assessment of cardiovascular risk.
Glucose and HbA1c testing can provide information about blood sugar levels and may be used when assessing diabetes risk or monitoring existing diabetes.
Thyroid blood tests commonly measure markers such as TSH and FT4 to assess thyroid function.
Iron studies can provide information about iron levels and iron stores and may be useful when investigating certain symptoms or health concerns.
Gold Medical Centre currently provides several health screening packages designed for different requirements.
The tests included vary between packages, so it is important to consider which profile is appropriate for your circumstances.
Health needs can vary according to age, medical history, symptoms and individual risk factors.
The Well Woman and 60+ Female profiles provide different levels of blood testing, allowing patients to choose a broader screening package according to their circumstances.
Blood screening does not replace appropriate medical assessment or condition-specific screening. If you have symptoms or a particular health concern, a doctor can advise whether additional or different investigations may be required.
Regular health assessment can provide useful information about several areas of men’s health, including cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors.
Gold Medical Centre’s Well Man screening profile includes a range of general blood tests together with prostate-related markers.
The appropriate investigations depend on factors such as age, symptoms, medical history and individual risk factors.
If you have a particular concern or symptoms, a Private GP consultation can help determine whether further investigation is appropriate.
Health needs can change with age, and some people may benefit from a broader assessment of important health markers.
Gold Medical Centre provides separate 60+ Female and 60+ Male screening profiles, incorporating a wider range of investigations than the standard general health package.
The appropriate tests still depend on the individual. Health screening results should therefore be considered alongside medical history, symptoms and other relevant clinical information.
Whether fasting is required depends on the tests included in your selected health screening package.
Some blood tests can be performed without fasting, while others may require specific preparation.
When booking your health check, please follow the preparation instructions provided by Gold Medical Centre. If you are unsure whether you should fast, contact the clinic before your appointment rather than making changes to medication or diet without medical advice.
For blood-based health screening, a healthcare professional will collect the required blood sample, usually from a vein in your arm.
The samples are then sent for laboratory analysis.
The exact tests performed depend on the screening package selected.
Once your results are available, they can provide information about the health markers included in your chosen profile.
Where appropriate, results that require further assessment can be discussed with a healthcare professional.
Health screening results should be interpreted in context.
A result outside a laboratory reference range does not automatically indicate a particular medical condition, just as a result within the reference range does not necessarily exclude every health problem.
Factors such as age, medical history, symptoms, medication and previous results may all be relevant.
If your results raise a concern or you would like help understanding them, a medical consultation can provide appropriate interpretation and discuss whether further investigation or monitoring is required.
There is no single health screening schedule that is appropriate for everyone.
How often testing may be useful depends on factors including:
Rather than repeating the same screening package automatically, testing should be appropriate to your individual circumstances.
If you are unsure, a healthcare professional can advise which investigations and follow-up intervals may be appropriate.
Health screening can form one part of a broader approach to preventive healthcare.
Depending on your individual circumstances, this may include assessment of blood pressure, cholesterol, blood glucose and other relevant health markers, together with consideration of lifestyle and medical risk factors.
Where a blood test identifies a result requiring further attention, appropriate medical review can help determine the next steps.
