Health Screens

Health Screens Information

Basic health screening involves a range of tests signed to search for signs of diseases and common health problems. They are often used as part of a preventative medicine programme - although they're also used to get to the bottom of broader medical issues and undiagnosed conditions.

Getting screened regularly can help you identify health issues before they worsen. The faster you receive treatment, the more likely it is to succeed. You can get tested for a range of common markers at a single iGP appointment. A single blood sample will be sent to our laboratory and screened for the following issues:

Whether you've reached a certain age, have a family history of disease or you're generally feeling unwell, a basic health screening can provide you with the answers you're looking for.

Your results may be completely normal, which means you can get on with your life. Crucially, however, your doctor will have an idea of where to take the investigation if abnormalities are found. Either way, you'll get your results within just a few days.

Do I Need Basic Health Screening?

A lot of serious health issues can develop without symptoms, so getting screened regularly is always a good idea. There are several reasons why you might need a quick and comfortable health screening at a local iGP clinic, including:

The iGP Standard Health Screening blood test checks for a comprehensive range of health markers. Perhaps you've reached a milestone age and want to check that you're fit and healthy. Maybe you haven't been feeling yourself lately and want to know what's causing your malaise. Whatever your reasons for needing a standard screening test, the clinicians at iGP are here to help.

Standard screening starts with a simple blood sample. An experienced and fully qualified member of our clinical team will draw a sample of your blood in one of our state-of-the-art clinics in South Wales. Your sample will then be analysed in our laboratory to search for key markers and abnormalities. If there's anything in your results that is a cause for concern, we may recommend further testing and a medical investigation.

We search for a huge range of potential health issues during the Standard screening process, including:

We can test for all of these issues with a single sample to minimise your anxiety and stress levels. And should the need for further investigations arise, we'll explain the process to you in detail.
