What it shows
What the Select tier actually measures.
The core screening bloods, vitals, ECG and QRISK3 — the picture you need for a rounded annual review, with red-flag safety-netting.
-
Blood pressure
A clinic-measured blood pressure — the single most cost-effective vascular screening test.
-
Cholesterol and lipid profile
Total, HDL, non-HDL cholesterol and triglycerides — feeds directly into QRISK3.
-
HbA1c and diabetes risk
Three-month average glucose — flags pre-diabetes or undiagnosed type 2 diabetes.
-
Kidney function
U&E and eGFR — a baseline for kidney health and future medication safety.
-
Liver function
ALT, ALP, bilirubin, albumin — screens for fatty liver and alcohol-related change.
-
Thyroid function
TSH — a screen for hypo- or hyperthyroidism, which mimics many non-specific symptoms.
-
QRISK3 10-year CV risk
Your validated cardiovascular risk over the next decade, calculated at the visit.
-
Red flag: markedly abnormal result — same-day advice or onward referral
Any critical value is discussed with you on the day, with onward referral arranged immediately.
Next steps
What follows a Select health assessment.
The report translates findings into concrete next actions — lifestyle, medication, onward referral and, where appropriate, a step up to the Advanced tier.
-
Lifestyle prescription
A concrete, prioritised lifestyle plan — diet, activity, sleep, alcohol and smoking — written into the report.
-
Statin therapy where indicated
If QRISK3 crosses threshold, we discuss statins — benefits, side-effects and the shared decision.
-
Antihypertensive optimisation
New or existing blood-pressure treatment reviewed against current NICE targets.
-
Diabetes-prevention pathway
For pre-diabetes: structured lifestyle programme with 3-month HbA1c follow-up.
-
Onward specialist referral
Direct route to consultant cardiology, endocrinology, gastro or dermatology as required.
-
Repeat annually
Serial values year-on-year sharpen the picture — most patients repeat Select annually.
-
Consider upgrade to Advanced tier
Adds cardiac imaging, cancer-marker bloods and expanded screening — for those wanting a deeper look.
-
GP registration and continuity
Ongoing named-GP relationship if you want it — the report becomes your baseline.
Red flags
When a Select slot isn’t the right route.
A Select assessment is an annual review — not an emergency route. These presentations need same-day escalation, not a booked slot.
-
Suspected stroke / TIA
Sudden weakness, facial droop, slurred speech, sudden visual loss — 999, not a private slot.
-
Symptomatic anaemia
Marked fatigue, breathlessness or dizziness with low haemoglobin — needs same-day work-up.
-
Uncontrolled hypertension
Severely elevated blood pressure at the visit is treated as a same-day priority.
-
New-onset chest pain
Any new or exertional chest pain is escalated urgently — not deferred to a routine slot.
-
Undiagnosed diabetes
HbA1c in the diabetic range triggers same-day advice and structured onward pathway.
-
Suspicious blood-test result
Markedly abnormal FBC, LFT or U&E is escalated to the relevant specialist directly.
-
Concerning lump on exam
Any suspicious breast, testicular, thyroid or lymph-node finding routed on a 2-week-wait equivalent.
-
Mental-health crisis
Active suicidal ideation or severe depressive symptoms are triaged the same day.
-
Alcohol / substance dependency
Screening-tool positive results are discussed with practical, non-judgemental onward support.
Recognised by major UK insurers
Cover depends on your policy and clinic; we confirm with your insurer before booking.
Frequently asked
Everything we get asked about the Select tier.
Quick answers on what’s included, fasting, results turnaround and how Select compares to the Advanced tiers.
-
What is a Select health assessment?
The essential entry tier of our health assessment programme — a GP-led same-day core check covering blood pressure, weight, urine, ECG, a standard blood panel, a QRISK3 cardiovascular risk score and a personalised written report. It is designed as the annual well-adult review.
-
Who is the Select tier for?
Adults wanting a thorough baseline or annual review who don’t need cardiac imaging or expanded cancer-marker screening at this point. If you want a deeper look — cardiac imaging, expanded bloods, dermoscopy — the Advanced or Advanced Plus tiers are the better fit.
-
How long does it take, and do I need to fast?
Plan for about 90 minutes at the clinic. Fast for 8 hours before your appointment — water and essential medication only — so lipid and glucose values are accurate.
-
What blood tests are included?
A full blood count, urea and electrolytes, liver function, thyroid function (TSH), HbA1c and a full lipid profile. Additional tests can be added on the day where clinically indicated.
-
When will I get my results?
Blood pressure, weight, urine dipstick and ECG are discussed on the day. The personalised written report — including your QRISK3 score and prioritised action plan — usually follows within 48 hours.
-
Do I need a referral?
No. Select is a self-referral service. If insurance-funded, we handle pre-authorisation for you before the appointment.

In practice, in London
The London pathway for health assessments select
With health assessments select, the London question is usually about report turnaround and the radiologist reading it — not whether the scan is available. The NHS route for health assessments select is thorough, but the queue is real. Most patients we speak with have been told to expect anywhere from a handful of weeks to several months, depending on their local trust and how the referral is graded. Going private in London usually collapses that window to a matter of days — often the same week if the diary allows. It isn’t about jumping a queue so much as buying time back while you still have the flexibility to plan around it.
In practice, a private health assessments select appointment in London means a named consultant, a proper hour in the room (or the equivalent on a video call), and a report you can actually read. Most of the imaging suites and endoscopy units we use sit within a mile of Harley Street or in Chelsea and Fulham, and turnaround on findings is measured in days, not weeks. For health assessments select specifically, the difference between a routine report and a sub-speciality read is where private care earns its keep.
Where a good concierge earns its keep is in the matching. There are dozens of consultants in London who see health assessments select — but not all of them are the right fit for every case. We narrow it down based on subspecialty, insurer coverage, the specific question being asked, and whether continuity into treatment matters. The right first appointment saves you from repeating yourself later.
