Most of the tests are non-invasive and painless. Blood tests and physical examinations may cause minimal discomfort, but our healthcare professionals will ensure you are as comfortable as possible throughout the process.
Turnaround times may vary due to the complexity of specific tests. A member of staff will inform you of the expected timeframe during your health screen visit. Once your results have been received, a GP will be in contact to discuss them.
Wear comfortable and loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access for physical examinations. Avoid wearing clothing with metal components near the chest area, as they can interfere with the ECG signals. Stay hydrated before the blood tests, as it can make it easier for the healthcare professional to draw blood. It is also helpful to bring any relevant medical history or records which we do not have access to.
