This Medical is a full health check designed not only to try and pick up any early signs of Cardiovascular Disease (causes heart attacks and stroke) and Cancer, but also to educate you about your health and actually try to prevent you developing illness.
We usually schedule executive medicals for the morning sessions, as we like you to attend Fasting i.e., nothing to eat or drink for the preceding 10-12 hours. It is easier to do this whilst asleep, and this allows your body’s metabolism to achieve baseline levels.
If you have a medical condition that may be affected by this, or you are on any medication, you should discuss this by phone or email with our staff before attending / embarking on your fast.
You will have a full medical with the Doctor, which includes a full Medical History and Examination and Vision Screen (please bring your spectacles / lenses if you use same).
Dependent on your risk factors (or at your request) you may require a Lung Function Test, a Resting and Exercise ECG.
We suggest you attend for the medical in comfortable clothes such as shorts/track suit, t-shirt and trainers. You can bring along your work/everyday clothes to change into after the medical.
A Chest X-ray and Abdominal Pelvic Ultrasound may also be required.
The Doctor will collate all the data and prepare a follow up session to discuss your results.
