What is a Well Woman Health Check?
A Well Woman Health Check is a GP-led assessment of your general health and any specific concerns or symptoms you may have.
It starts with a one-to-one consultation with Dr. Faizal, where he reviews your medical and family history, lifestyle, and general health, and any specific concerns you may have. He will then recommend any further tests and investigations that are suitable for your situation.
What is included in a Well Woman Health Check?
As there is no generic list of tests for a Well Woman Health Check, what is included will be determined by your age, symptoms, medical and family history, and anything else relevant to your own specific health requirements.
Depending on the outcome of your consultation, Dr Faizal may recommend:
Blood Tests:
Where appropriate, blood tests can provide useful information about areas of your health including cholesterol, blood glucose, thyroid function, liver and kidney function, iron and vitamin levels.
Cardiovascular Check:
This may include blood pressure assessment, body mass index (BMI) and a cardiovascular risk assessment. If clinically appropriate, a private ECG test may also be recommended.
Hormonal Assessment:
If you have concerns about your periods, perimenopause, menopause or other hormonal symptoms, Dr Faizal can assess your symptoms and discuss whether further hormonal investigations are appropriate.
Lifestyle Review:
Your consultation can also include discussion about diet, physical activity, sleep, smoking, alcohol and other lifestyle factors that may affect your long-term health.
Further Investigations:
Where appropriate, Dr Faizal will guide you through the process of further investigations and any Specialist referrals if required.
What Does a Well Woman Check Involve?
The process starts with a detailed discussion of:
- current concerns and symptoms
- personal and family medical history
- any medications you may be taking
- your general lifestyle and risk factors
- any concerns with hormones or other issues
He will then recommend any relevant blood tests and investigations and explain them fully to you. He will also be there to discuss the results and any next steps following your Well Woman Health Check.
Who Might Benefit From a Well Woman Health Check?
You might find a Well Woman Health Check useful if:
- You are looking to have some reassurance on your general health and wellbeing
- There is a family history of heart disease, diabetes, thyroid dysfunction, or cancer
- You are experiencing persistent symptoms such as fatigue or unexplained weight concerns.
- There are concerns with periods, hormonal imbalances, or menopause
- You want to understand and assess your risks of heart disease or diabetes
- You would like a baseline assessment of your general health
You do not need to have any specific concerns or symptoms to have a Well Woman Health Check, but we can discuss what you are particularly looking for and tailor your private consultation accordingly.
Private Well Woman Health Check vs NHS Health Check
Both a private and NHS Health Check can be useful in assessing and managing your health if you are concerned about certain risks. The main difference is that with a private check, you will be able to request a personal assessment where Dr. Faizal, will personally recommend any investigations that suit your condition. You will also be able to discuss the results of your reports at the end of your consultation as part of your private care.
Another key difference is that an NHS Health Check is a national screening programme for the NHS, and any follow-up investigations or actions would also be carried out via the NHS.
The NHS Health Check is generally offered to eligible adults aged 40 to 74. A private Well Woman Health Check can be booked outside that programme, with the assessment tailored to your individual circumstances.
A private Well Woman Health Check thus complements, rather than replace, your NHS care.
What Happens After Your Well Woman Health Check?
Dr Faizal will explain your results, answer your questions and discuss any recommended next steps.
Depending on your test results, this may include lifestyle advice, medication, further investigations, monitoring or a Specialist referral.
