    Cardiovascular Risk & Interpretation

    Cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of preventable illness. We use validated UK risk models to estimate your 10-year cardiovascular risk and present the findings clearly and proportionately.

    For patients undertaking the Advanced Health Assessment, we offer enhanced interpretation of cholesterol and blood pressure targets where clinically appropriate. Our emphasis is on meaningful clinical insight and shared decision-making, with clear options for implementation either privately or in collaboration with your NHS GP.

    Where further action is advised, we outline your options, which may include lifestyle measures, monitoring, medication discussion or referral. These assessments complement NHS care and do not replace ongoing general practice services.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about private health assessments in Newcastle.

What is the Difference Between the Health Assessment and the Advanced Health Assessment?

The Health Assessment provides a focused cardiometabolic review, including blood pressure, examination and core blood testing with cardiovascular risk calculation. The Advanced Health Assessment includes a broader systems review, comprehensive examination and enhanced cardiovascular risk interpretation, with extended consultation time and more detailed reporting.

Do I Need to Fast Before My Blood Test?

In most cases, fasting is not required. If fasting is recommended based on your specific tests, we will advise you in advance.

What Blood Tests Are Included?

Both assessments include cholesterol profile, glucose control, kidney and liver function, thyroid testing and selected nutritional markers. The Advanced Health Assessment includes additional cardiovascular markers where clinically appropriate.

Will This Assessment Screen for Cancer?

These assessments are focused on cardiovascular and general medical risk rather than comprehensive cancer screening. If there are specific concerns or symptoms, a dedicated GP consultation may be more appropriate.

What Happens if Something Abnormal is Found?

If results fall outside the expected range, we explain the significance clearly and outline your options. This may include monitoring, lifestyle modification, medication discussion or referral. Where appropriate, we provide documentation to support shared care with your NHS GP.

Do You Prescribe Medication if Needed?

Where clinically appropriate, treatment options can be discussed during your results consultation. Medication may be initiated privately or implemented through your NHS GP following shared decision making.

Can I Share My Results with My NHS GP?

Yes. You will receive a structured written report which you can share with your NHS GP if you wish. We aim to complement existing care rather than replace it.

Is This Suitable if I Already Have a Medical Condition?

If you have an established condition such as hypertension, diabetes or heart disease, this assessment can provide an additional review of risk factors. However, it does not replace ongoing management through your usual GP or specialist.

How Long Does it Take to Receive Results?

Blood test results are usually available within a few working days. Your follow up appointment will be scheduled to allow sufficient time for full review and interpretation.

Can I Upgrade to the Advanced Health Assessment After Booking?

Yes. If you decide you would prefer the more detailed assessment, this can usually be arranged prior to your appointment, dependent on our other diary commitments.

How Often Should I Have a Health Assessment?

We recommend having a health check every 1 to 3 years, depending on individual circumstances.

Is This a Replacement for My NHS GP?

No. These assessments are designed to complement, not replace, ongoing NHS care.
