IT’S DIFFERENT. BECAUSE EVERY WOMAN’S BODY IS DIFFERENT.
Health issue on your mind?
Reached a milestone age you’d like to celebrate with candles and a check-up?
Want an idea of what’s in store for you?
All valid reasons to get that body of yours thoroughly checked out. After all, you think nothing of servicing your car. Why not a comprehensive once-over of you?
Your first port of call may be the NHS. A great option if you want a quick look under the bonnet and kick of the tyres. But the problem is, it’s designed to check out everybody not your particular body. Tick boxes, templates, standard lifestyle analyses, blah blah blah.
Oh, and if you’re over 40, certain things may get overlooked.
H3 HEALTH CHECK – THERE’S NOTHING LIKE IT OUT THERE
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we would say that. But it’s true. You won’t find a better Health MOT on the market. It’s totally bespoke and built around your particular story.
- We only do tests or examinations that are genuinely useful.
- Tests that you need and which provide effective preventative health for the over 40’s.
- We deal with you as a rounded person, not one simple health concern.
- We treat your problem rather than just refer it on or bat it back to your GP.
- We’ll agree a plan of action and stick to it.
- All of our consultations are with a doctor who specialises in women’s health.
- You’ll get a comprehensive report to pore over

EVERYTHING FROM SEXUAL HEALTH TO CANCER
General wellness.
Niggles, worries, anything you want to discuss. Don’t be shy.
Mental health.
Depression, anxiety, stress. It’s such a big area and we’ll give you time to chat about it.
Cardiovascular health.
Heart health is so important and the risk of disease increases through menopause. So, we look at lifestyle factors, family history, symptoms, sleep, exercise diet and nutrition. We measure blood pressure, pulse, heart sound, perform an ECG, and carry out blood tests for cholesterol, testosterone, diabetes and pre-diabetes.
General health.
We’ll look at core health markers such as anaemia, immunity, kidney and liver function. And we’ll do it properly, investigating any underlying causes.
Ovarian health and the renal system.
Checking urine for protein and blood for markers of kidney disease. We also measure BP. Although there is no screening for Ovarian cancer, we can measure the ovarian markers to determine if these are elevated.
Diabetes screening.
Not the old fashioned finger-prick blood test for glucose. We use an HBA1c blood test which can pick up early markers of diabetes years before you get symptoms.
And we go further. Type 2 diabetes is also an indicator of ‘metabolic syndrome’. Putting women at risk of stroke, heart attack, kidney disease, peripheral vascular disease, fatty liver disease, and other problems. So, we’ll assess for this, looking at cardiac risk, blood pressure, cholesterol, HBA1c, renal function, lifestyle, bodyweight, BMI, percentage fat, etc.
Female health.
Menopause is our speciality. Checking hormone levels can give a snapshot of what is happening at that particular moment. Useful when guiding treatment (HRT) or additional hormones in the future.
Cancer.
No matter what health check you do, you cannot screen for all cancers. Even a ‘full body MRI’ would miss some. Instead, we screen for those we can look out for – breast cancer, bowel cancer, cervical screening. Suggesting preventative measures to reduce the risk.
