BUPA Advanced Health Assessment

Bupa Advanced health assessment means you can have a clear and thorough overview of your current state of health. It empowers you to take action against any potential risks and makes sure you carry on living life to the full. Prevention really is the best medicine. It’s far wiser to check for health problems in advance than to wait until they’ve taken hold. Finding diseases in their early stages usually means a much better prognosis – early detection saves lives every year.

Combining an in-depth profile of your overall health with a fitness evaluation, this high-tech health assessment provides you with a comprehensive overview of the exact shape you’re in.

It involves a 60 minute consultation with a doctor and up to 43 tests, based on your age, lifestyle and gender. There’s also a fitness evaluation, which shows you how well your heart, lungs, metabolism, circulation and muscles perform during exercise using equipment used by NASA for astronauts.

Many of the results will be available on the day, followed by a full report. You’ll have plenty of time to talk through any concerns with one of our doctors.
