I’ve been reflecting about health checks today and what these mean for my patients.
In my role as a private GP, I am seeing more people interested in “full body” health checks — and I really do think it makes sense to be proactive. At the end of the day good health is what allows us to live, work, and enjoy life in to the max! But here’s the honest truth: more tests don’t always mean better care.
In my line of work, I have met people that have had hundreds of blood tests, full body scans and even genetic mapping. Often they will then be sent a report, quite often AI generated, that then can lead to confusion unnecessary worry and a cascade of events, or further tests, that doesn’t always have added value.
At RevitaMed, we pride ourselves on taking a more thoughtful and personalised approach.
We start with you!!!! Your medical history, your lifestyle, and your family background, and any concerns you may have. From there, we build a bespoke health check, focusing on what is genuinely useful and evidence-based. For example, there may have been a history of heart disease and need cardiovascular assessment,family history of cancer may need some cancer markers or genetic testing.
Our aim is simple:
The right tests, at the right time, for the right reasons.
Sometimes the most valuable part of a health check is the conversation that comes after it!
