A full preventative health assessment checks your health from head to toe. It looks for risks early, records clear baselines, and gives you a practical plan. At First Health Check, our most advanced plan is the Platinum Health Assessment. It brings comprehensive blood tests, advanced imaging, and a consultant review together in one coordinated UK to India trip in just three days.
Why choose a full preventative health assessment
- Speed and convenience: Multiple tests in one visit, clear scheduling, fast results.
- Clarity: A senior physician explains findings in plain English, then sets out next steps.
- Technology advantage: Access to the latest 3 Tesla MRI scanners, which provide high-resolution images for sharper detail and confident decisions.
What the Platinum Health Assessment includes
Our clinical team performs each test and reviews your results together. Consequently, your plan reflects your goals, history, and risk profile.

- Clotting disorders: Platelet count, PT/INR or PTT.
Iron status
- Iron deficiency profile: Iron, TIBC, CBC, Haemoglobin, Serum Iron, Transferrin Saturation, Ferritin.
Kidney, salts, and liver
- Kidney function: Renal Function Tests.
- Electrolytes: Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Bicarbonate.
- Liver function: LFTs, including Gamma-glutamyl Transferase when needed.
Cardiometabolic health
- Lipids and cholesterol: Total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, full lipid profile.
- Diabetes screening: Fasting glucose and HbA1c.
Thyroid and hormones
- Thyroid function: TSH, Free T3, Free T4.
- Men only: Testosterone.
- Reproductive hormones: LH, FSH.
- Menopause staging, women only: Testosterone, FSH, LH, Oestradiol.
Vitamins and haematology
- Vitamin status: Vitamin D and Vitamin B12.
- Blood disorders: Full Blood Count with ESR when appropriate.
Tumour markers, sex specific
- Women: CA 19-9 and CEA, interpreted with imaging and examination.
- Men: PSA and Free PSA, discussed through shared decision making.
Advanced imaging and assessments
We schedule imaging for comfort and efficiency. CT uses ionising radiation. However, MRI and ultrasound do not. Therefore, we select the right studies for your history and goals.
Cardiac and vascular
- ECG: 12-lead heart rhythm test.
- CT Heart and CT Coronary Angiogram: Non invasive views of the coronary arteries.
- CT Aorta: Assessment of the main artery when indicated.
- MRI Cerebral Artery Angiogram and 3T MRI Carotid Artery Angiogram: MRI of brain and neck arteries.
Chest, abdomen, pelvis, and bowel
- CT Chest, CT Abdomen, CT Pelvis: Cross sectional imaging of thoracic and abdominal organs.
- CT Virtual Colonoscopy: Also called CT colonography. A plain-English overview is available at Cancer Research UK.
Bone and neurological
- CT Bone Density: Bone mineral density check for osteoporosis risk.
- MRI Brain (3 Tesla): High-field 3T MRI produces finer detail than standard 1.5T systems, which improves confidence when assessing subtle changes.
Ultrasound and sex specific imaging
- Ultrasound Thyroid
- Ultrasound Testes or Ovaries
- Digital Mammogram, women
- Full body mole screen
Final consultation
- Consultant review: A specialist explains your results, answers questions, and sets out next steps. In addition, you receive a written summary.
Your day, step by step
- Registration and triage: We confirm your medical history, medicines, and allergies.
- Phlebotomy: A nurse takes your blood samples for the full panel.
- Imaging block: We group CT, 3T MRI, and ultrasound efficiently. Some CT scans may need short fasting or contrast. We explain preparation in advance.
- Consultation: Your senior physician reviews results and provides a practical action plan.
How we interpret results
We look at patterns, not single numbers. For example, lipids, HbA1c, and blood pressure guide heart risk. In addition, ECG and CT coronary angiography add structural detail. Because tumour markers can be non specific, we read them with imaging and examination. As a result, your plan focuses on actions that are clear, safe, and achievable.
Is this the comprehensive assessment you have been searching for?
- You want a thorough, time efficient review with one clear plan.
- You have family history of heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, or certain cancers.
- You want a reliable baseline before lifestyle changes. Alternatively, you simply want reassurance.
