Ready to Take Control of Your Health?

Whether you’re looking to optimise your nutrition, manage a chronic condition, or personalise your medications, genetic testing gives you the insights to take proactive steps.

What is Pharmacogenetics?

Pharmacogenetics examines how your genes influence your body’s response to medications. It helps healthcare providers choose the right drug and dosage for you—minimising side effects and reducing trial-and-error prescribing.

Are the test results easy to understand?

Yes. Your personalised report uses a traffic light system (green, amber, red) and includes plain English explanations with follow-up advice where needed.

What if my results show something abnormal?

If any urgent or high-risk results are identified, we will contact you immediately and recommend that you follow up with your own GP.

Can I upgrade my package later?

Yes, you can upgrade to the Core Health Check for an additional £40, which adds 10 extra blood health readings, including platelets and red/white blood cell counts.

Where can I book my health check?

You can book your appointment at one of our Fulham road clinic.

What’s included in the 24/7 GP helpline?

You’ll get 12 months of unlimited access to a private GP helpline for advice on general health issues, minor ailments, travel advice, and prescriptions. Please note: this service is not for discussing your health check results—those should be reviewed with your own GP.
