Health Assessments

Comprehensive Health Assessments are designed for men and for women according to your age, enabling us to focus on your specific needs. Medicals include physical and mental health assessment with appropriate investigations, report and follow-up. We adopt a flexible attitude, rather than adopting the rigid formats favoured by larger organisations. This ensures we deal with the issues that really matter to you. We will not adopt a scattergun approach to additional more specialised tests but ensure they are focused and appropriate following initial, careful assessment. Ample time is always available for discussing your particular concerns.

Having established a relationship with your GP over time, empathy and an understanding of your life adds to the accuracy of the advice we can offer you about your present and future health. See the information below to see what we would normally include in our Health Assessments.

Our Assessments

FEMALES UNDER 40 FEMALES OVER 40 MALES UNDER 40 MALES OVER 40

Females Under 40

Our Health Assessment for Females Under 40 focuses on proactively managing your future health, creating lifelong healthy habits and establishing baseline metrics. Monitoring reproductive health at this stage of your life is essential, and we are well-experienced in supporting and guiding you through this time. The assessments include early detection of cancers and illnesses when there is a strong family history of diseases.

Medical History

Detailed review by a female GP, if preferred, of your medical history, full gynaecological history, family medical history, social history, occupational history, mental health and lifestyle.

Doctor’s Consultation

We ensure that there is plenty of time to discuss particular issues or concerns with the GP.

Breast Examination

We ensure that there is plenty of time to discuss particular issues or concerns with the GP, examine the breasts and guide you on how to self-examine.

Full Blood Analysis

A comprehensive analysis examining for anaemia, infection, inflammation, full cholesterol profile, liver, bone, kidney and thyroid function, as well as tests for gout and diabetes screening. Depending on clinical need, additional tests may be requested at extra cost.

Cervical Smear, Chlamydia Test & Pelvic Examination

ThinPrep cytology uses the latest technique for sampling cervical cells, which is more effective than the conventional PAP smear for detecting abnormal cells and reducing inadequate specimens.

The sample is tested for HPV (Human Papillomavirus), and the lab performs reflex cytology if this is detected. If clinically indicated, the sample can also be tested for chlamydia and gonorrhoea at extra cost.

Stress Analysis

Overall review of stress-related issues though sensitive discussion with the GP plus the use of a validated questionnaire, to promote the early detection of stress.

Urine Analysis

Includes tests for protein, blood, sugar, ketones, infections, pus cells, bile pigments, pH and nitrites.

Includes examination of the heart, lungs, abdomen, central nervous system, skin, ear, nose and throat, pulse rate and blood pressure at rest. Height, Weight and Body Mass Index.

Rubella Screen

A test for rubella (German measles) to ensure immunity.

Indicated when symptoms or signs of vaginal infection are present to identify infections such as Candida (commonly known as thrush), bacterial infections and Gonorrhoea.

HIV

A combined blood test that includes the detection of antibodies to HIV-1 and HIV-2 viruses and the HIV p24 antigen. The benefit of having a test for the p24 antigen is that it allows earlier detection of HIV infection from as soon as 4 weeks after contact, compared to 12 weeks when it is omitted.

Females Over 40

Our Health Assessment for Females Over 40 provides a comprehensive overview of your health, addressing any age-related changes and hormonal fluctuations from the peri-menopause and menopause. As women enter their 40s and beyond, staying proactive about health becomes increasingly important. Regular screenings for conditions where age is a risk factor help detect potential issues early.

CT Coronary Angiogram

We are delighted to offer our patients CT coronary angiograms in partnership with Professor Diana Gorog, Consultant Cardiologist.

This is a state-of-the-art heart test that provides definitive images of the coronary blood vessels, which in turn allows us to give you definitive advice on the state of your heart and on treatment or preventive measures. Largely, the results are reassuring.

Digital Mammography

Regular mammography screening has been shown to reduce breast cancer mortality by up to 30-50%. It is recommended once every 2 years for women over the age of 40 or earlier if clinically indicated or if there is a family history of breast cancer. State-of-the-art digital mammograms are superior in quality and offer many benefits.

DEXA Bone Density Scanning

This helps detect signs of reduced bone density caused by osteopenia and osteoporosis. It is recommended for those with risk factors for osteoporosis, a history of low-impact fractures and can be considered in women after the menopause due to the increased risk of osteoporosis from oestrogen loss.

Kind Words From Our Patients

“I was, for many years, a patient of a Harley Street general physician who practiced on his own. I was very well cared for by him. I was most concerned when he retired whether I would ever find anyone to look after me as well as my long-standing doctor.

I had no need to be concerned.

I have been extremely well looked after by HSGP. I have experienced high standards of professionalism and kindness. I find the team accessible, well prepared, thorough and efficient.

I am treated as if I am a valued patient of the practice. If further specialist medical advice is required, the people to whom I have been referred always seem to be impressive and at the top of their game.”

“I have been a patient of Dr Samina Showghi at the Harley Street General Practice for the past 25 years – and I have never once been let down. She (and the other brilliant doctors at the HSGP) has usually been able to see me quickly and efficiently on the same day, and whenever I’ve had to see a specialist, an appointment is set up within hours. I cannot recommend Dr Showghi and her team highly enough; they are always there whenever I need them, with good humour and unflinching professionalism.”
