What it is for

  • General Health Profile

    Why people check it

    Many of the problems it looks at take years to cause symptoms, and some never do, while they quietly cause harm. Knowing early gives you the chance to change habits and start treatment if it is needed. Take your results to a doctor you trust, such as your GP.

    Can be done with a finger-prick kit at home, at a collection point or with home collection on request.

    Who it is for

    Adults who want a broad check of their health, and people living with diabetes or high blood pressure, who are advised to keep an eye on their blood sugar and kidneys regularly.

  • Signs

    Often there are no signs. People check it when

    • They want a general picture of where their health stands
    • They want to know their blood sugar and cholesterol before anything shows
    • They feel tired or short of breath
    • They have painful, swollen joints
