Comprehensive health assessment (360) cost in the UK: what you pay privately (2026)

A private comprehensive health assessment combines a GP-led review, many blood tests, heart and lung checks and body measurements, usually over two to three hours, for people who want a broader picture of their health.

Some private hospitals post guide prices for common procedures. For comprehensive health assessment (360) the entries we found ran from £399 to £1,129. Each row below is a published figure from the named provider, and the label shows the exact variant it priced.

Hospitals update these lists, and a guide price is not a quote. Treat the figures as a way to see the scale of the bill, then compare against a written estimate for your own case.

The assessment moves through stations: a clinician takes a history, measures vital signs, performs an ECG or lung test, takes blood, and reviews results with you. A written report follows.

Ask for the list of tests in writing and for how results and referrals are shared with your GP.

Price differences for comprehensive health assessment (360) usually come down to a handful of choices and circumstances, set out here.

• Package level: Nuffield Health lists the 360 assessment at £869 for up to 120 minutes and 29 tests, and the 360+ at £1,129 for up to 180 minutes and up to 30 tests including a fitness test.

• Number and type of tests: more tests and a GP review add time and cost.

• Fitness testing: exercise testing and body composition add equipment and staff time.

• Follow-up: abnormal results lead to further tests and consultations.

• Provider: hospital-based, clinic-based or employer-sponsored.

The same label can mean different things at different hospitals. Use this table as a checklist when you read an estimate.

Insurers rarely pay for general health assessments, though employers sometimes fund them for staff.

Policies differ on outpatient and inpatient cover, so the same procedure can be fully, partly or not covered. If you pay yourself, ask what is guaranteed in the price and whether instalment plans carry interest.

The NHS offers health checks for adults in an age range and targeted screening programmes for specific cancers, free of charge, but not a broad assessment of this kind.

The NHS pathway runs through your GP and a consultant-led service, with an 18-week referral-to-treatment standard for non-urgent care. If a wait looks likely to exceed that, you can ask your commissioner about alternatives.

There is no recovery, and you can usually work afterwards.

Most people have an uneventful experience, but it helps to know how a problem would be handled financially.

• A broad panel can flag borderline results that lead to repeat tests and further referrals, so ask how abnormal findings are handled and who pays.

• Screening cannot guarantee that disease is absent, and symptoms should always be assessed on their own merit.

To compare like with like, request the same details from every provider. For this procedure the useful questions are below.

• What exactly is included in each package level?

• How are abnormal results followed up and by whom?

• Are imaging or cancer screening tests included?

• Will the report be shared with my GP?

• Does the quote itemise the hospital, consultant and anaesthetic charges, and which of them could still change?
