Here at Private GP Services, we believe that all our patients should be treated as individuals and given sufficient time to discuss their health concerns with an experienced GP. We offer a range of face-to-face appointment lengths at times that are suitable for a busy schedule.
Why is Health Screening important?
Health screening can help to detect health problems early, even if you currently have no symptoms. Finding out if you have any health issues early ensures treatment can be started as soon as possible, giving you the best outcome possible.
Be proactive with your health
The aim of our Health Screening packages is to detect any health issues at an early stage. Rather than booking an appointment when unwell, it’s important to be proactive with your healthcare and keep yourself well. Health Screenings are like MOT’s for your body, detecting issues early will lead to a more positive prognosis.
Benefits of Health Screening
Make your health a priority, as “prevention is better than a cure”. Some of the main benefits of health screening are:
- Lifestyle improvements – Health Screening helps to identify if you have any conditions or diseases that you are not aware of.
- Early detection of any diseases will result in quicker treatment. This will help to decrease the risk of further complications and increases the chances of a better health outcome.
- Mental health benefits – If you have family members that have suffered from hereditary conditions, you may be concerned that you will develop the same health issues. Worrying about health issues that you think could potentially impact your life can be stressful. Health screening will help put your mind at ease.
