More about your Female Health Assessment
Before commencing your Female Health Assessment, there is a thorough questionnaire to carry out. This helps us understand all factors influencing your current health status and future risk of developing certain lifestyle diseases, so we can provide a strong foundation for you to make positive changes.
During your Female Health Assessment, we will:
Check breasts
As well as checking your breasts for problems your doctor will also show you how to be breast-aware and stay problem-free. A mammogram is available for women over 40 if appropriate.**
Check diabetes
Over half a million people in the UK have diabetes without knowing it. We will look for risk factors by measuring your blood glucose (sugar) level and analysing your urine. Our clinicians will then discuss your results and help you manage your blood sugar levels through exercise, nutrition and other lifestyle changes to reduce your risk of developing diabetes in the future.
Check anaemia
Tiredness can be a problem for all of us who lead busy lives. A blood test will check for anaemia and the ability to fight infection, so you know you have the energy to live life to the full.
Check cholesterol
Your heart is your body's most vital organ, so make it healthier with a few simple checks. Our blood test will assess your cholesterol level, whilst our clinicians will work with you to help lower your risk of cardiovascular disease by implementing healthier behaviours.
Check thyroid
Women over 50 are prone to an underactive thyroid. A blood test will identify this at a very early stage and allow the correct treatment to be given, before it becomes a serious problem.
Check gynaecology
Whatever your age you might need to discuss specific female problems. A cervical smear and full pelvic examination are both offered with full follow-up advice based on the results.

Can I complete the exercise testing regardless of my medical history?
Your clinician will recommend any necessary adjustments to exercise testing based on your medical history.
Note that based on your medical history and our consent forms, your clinician reserves the right to limit part of or the entirety of your assessment.
In the event this occurs, your clinician will explain why and talk you through the impact that any pre-existing conditions or medications you are taking may have on your overall assessment results.

Smear tests will be offered for anyone aged 25 to 49 years, conducted every three years, and for those aged 50 to 64 years, conducted every five years.
If clinically indicated, a smear test will be offered more frequently. -
Can I reschedule my smear test if I get my period on the day of the assessment?
If your appointment is outside the three full working days’ cancellation notice, contact our Central Bookings team to rearrange your appointment. Otherwise, we recommend attending your appointment.

My health assessment includes a Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) blood test. Is there anything I need to do to prepare for this?
If you are over the age of 50 with a prostate in situ, a PSA blood test may be included in your health assessment. Several factors can impact the results of this test. We recommend you read the PSA blood test leaflet for more information about this test.
Make sure you follow the guidance below for PSA blood tests to minimize the risk of a false positive PSA result – otherwise your test may need rescheduling (all other health assessment blood tests can take place).

- done vigorous exercise in the previous 48 hours
- ejaculated in the last 48 hours
- undergone a prostate biopsy or surgery in the last six weeks.
