More Information about Well Woman Health Assessment

Our Well Woman Health Assessment provides you the opportunity to have a full medical review of all the important areas relating to female well-being. Our package is designed to allow you to direct your assessment and to allow it to be as extensive as you feel is necessary.

We offer a Basic Well Woman Health Assessment which covers core health issues, as well as a number of additional options to suit your individual needs. The basic assessment is based around a 40 minute consultation with a doctor, and includes:

• A review of your personal medical history.
• Measurement of your blood pressure, pulse, weight, height and Body Mass Index.
• A clinical examination focusing on breast and pelvic health. This includes a detailed explanation of how and when self breast examination should be carried out.
• Blood tests including full blood count, liver function tests, kidney function tests, iron stores, glucose level, lipid (cholesterol) profile and thyroid functions.
• A urine sample to tests for the presence of urinary infections, blood and glucose.
• A cervical smear test done at time of pelvic examination
.

The Basic Well Woman Health Assessment costs £250. Optional additions (at extra cost) for those aged under 40 include:

• Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) testing on smear test sample (£60). HPV is also known as the "genital warts virus" and is linked to cervical cancer.
• High vaginal swab (£40). This is normally undertaken for the investigation of vaginal discharge.
• Choice of two sexual health screens. Profile 1 (£90) includes a high vaginal swab and specific tests for Chlamydia, Herpes Simplex and Syphilis. Profile 2 (£130) includes all the tests in Profile 1 plus tests for HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C.
• Pelvic ultrasound (£115).
• Resting ECG (£50).

Optional additions for those over 40 years of age include:

• Ovarian cancer screening (£200). This includes a pelvic ultrasound and a blood test for CA125, which is a tumour marker specific to ovarian cancer.
• A mammogram (£105, by referral). We will refer you to the radiology department of a nearby private hospital where you will have the mammogram which will be reported on by an experienced radiologist. The mammogram is digital and as such you will be able to keep the images on a disc for comparison with future mammograms.
• Menopausal blood profile (£90). This blood test can identify when you have entered the menopause.
• Osteoporosis profile (£255). This consists of a blood test that examines parameters relating to the health and density of bones (£100), as well as referral to a private hospital for Bone Density Scanning (£155, paid directly to the hospital).
