In 2026, the private health check UK cost typically ranges from £169 to £14,000. While London’s Harley Street remains a traditional hub for executive screening, modern preventive medicine is shifting focus. Today, patients prioritise diagnostic fidelity over postcode prestige.
A critical consideration in executive health is the avoidance of “physiological noise.” Clinical evidence suggests that compressed, single-day testing schedules can influence stress-sensitive measurements. For example, blood pressure and cortisol linked biomarkers often fluctuate due to clinical fatigue. Consequently, to secure a high fidelity audit of your health, you must evaluate the diagnostic window provided at each price tier.
2026 London Clinic Price Structure: Clinical Scope by Tier
The UK private healthcare clinics allow self-referral without GP needed, and results are usually back within a few days. They are typically structured into three primary levels. We have verified the breakdown of the work typically included at these price points to help you see a clear overview:
Level 1: Entry Comprehensive (£169 – £2,000)
These assessments are phlebotomy-led. They focus on standard biomarkers for general health monitoring. Most providers include the following:
- Essential Screening (£169): Typically includes basic blood readings covering lipids, kidney, and liver function. You also receive a resting ECG and biometric analysis., good for a general snapshot.
- Standard 360 Assessment (£800 – £1,100): This tier features a 60 marker blood panel. Furthermore, it adds lung function, cardiovascular risk scoring, and bone density (DEXA).
Level 2: Advanced Diagnostic (£2,500 – £5,000)
This tier introduces cross-sectional imaging. However, private clinics usually restrict these scans to specific organ groups. For instance, you may receive an MRI of the abdomen or a CT coronary angiogram. While these are valuable, they remain “partial” scans. As a result, they leave major regions of the body unmapped.
Level 3: Top Tier Full Body (£8,500 – £14,000)
This is the ceiling of London and the high profile clinics. These programmes combine CT, MRI, and ultrasound to detect abnormalities as small as 2mm. Typically, the Full Body Executive Assessment (£14,000) includes brain MRI and virtual colonoscopies. Additionally, adding a dementia evaluation can increase the price further.
A Journey in Preventive Excellence
First Health Check has developed a sophisticated alternative to the high-cost London providers. We have teamed up with the NABH-Accredited BAPS YM Hospital in Ahmedabad, India. They maintain a strategic partnership with GIC Prime Imaging Centre. This collaboration allows us to provide a broader scan and biomarker inventory than many UK executive packages. Our programmes are specifically designed for both men and women.
The Platinum head-to-toe assessment: A 360° Physiology Audit
Our private Platinum health assessment programme is a high-fidelity examination of human physiology. We move beyond basic screening into precision medicine. Our protocol includes:
- Comprehensive Blood & Hormonal Suite: We perform over 60 tests. These include Anaemia (CBC with PS), Clotting Disorders (PT/INR), and Vitamin D/B12. We also provide gender-specific staging for menopause or testosterone levels.
- Organ & Metabolic Health: Our medical experts review your Renal (RFT), Liver (LFT/GGT), and Thyroid Function (TSH, Free T3, Free T4) in detail.
- Oncology Biomarker Indicators: Our team utilises tumour markers such as CA 19-9, CEA, PSA, and CA-125. We interpret these alongside imaging to establish a comprehensive physiological baseline.
- The Premier Diagnostic Suite: You receive a complete Full Body CT (Aorta, Heart, Angiogram, Chest, Pelvis, Abdomen, Virtual Colonoscopy) and a Full Body MRI (Brain, Cerebral/Carotid Angiograms).
World-class clinical standards
We believe that some of the world’s most highly skilled doctors are from India. Moreover, the technology available at GIC Prime Imaging Centre represents the very best standard for diagnostic clarity available, globally.
- The 17-Specialist Medical Experts: In the UK, results are often reviewed by a small team. In contrast, 17 distinct medical specialists audit your data at First Health Check. This level of multidisciplinary attention is unheard of in the UK.
- 3.0 Tesla AI Driven MRI (Ultra-Wide Bore): We utilise the United Imaging uMR Omega 3T system. It features a world-first silent 75 cm ultra-wide bore. Therefore, it significantly reduces anxiety and claustrophobia compared to conventional systems.
- 160-Slice Digital PET-CT: This system provides exceptional clarity and speed. Our team can complete a whole-body PET-CT in just 5.5 minutes. Consequently, this supports the earliest possible detection of complex cases.
- 3D Digital Mammography & Ultrasound: Our assessment includes 3D Tomosynthesis. This cutting edge piece of technology boosts early breast cancer detection significantly.
Professional Logistics and Hospitality
We reject the high pressure schedule of the traditional one day check-up and screening. Instead, we manage every detail so you can focus on your health and enjoy the beauty of what India has to offer.
- Personalised In-Hotel Room Care: Your journey begins without the stress of a clinical commute. You can wake up at your own pace in your five-star hotel. Our clinical team member comes directly to you for your morning blood draw. This ensures the process is relaxed and discreet.
- A Restorative Pace: Once your bloods are taken, you are free to enjoy breakfast in the hotel. We wait until you are ready before your private chauffeur arrives. We only begin imaging when your physiology is at its natural baseline.
- River Cruise: Your 3-day wellness journey ends with a celebratory river cruise and dinner. It is a moment to celebrate your health in Ahmedabad a vibrant city preparing to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the First Health Check health assessments suitable for both men and women?
Absolutely, yes. Our three programmes provide ideal coverage for both genders. For example, we include 3D Digital Mammography for women and Prostate MRI for men. We ensure every patient receives gender-specific clinical attention.
Why is having 17 medical experts better than a standard UK review?
In the UK, results are often reviewed by a single consultant. However, at First Health Check, 17 medical specialists audit your data. This collective intelligence ensures a level of scrutiny that is virtually unavailable elsewhere.
How does 3.0 Tesla MRI differ from standard 1.5T MRI?
Operating at double the signal strength, the 3.0T AI-driven MRI detects micro-anomalies invisible to standard machines. It delivers this uncompromising accuracy in a significantly quieter, spacious environment, entirely eliminating scan anxiety and claustrophobia.
Are tumour markers recommended for screening?
Tumour markers are not standalone screening tools. Therefore, our 17 specialist board interprets them alongside imaging. This helps us establish a comprehensive physiological baseline for every patient.
