Most of us wouldn’t dream of driving our cars year after year without an MOT. We understand that regular checks are essential to catch problems early, keep everything running smoothly, and avoid costly repairs down the line.
But when it comes to our own health, many of us wait until something goes wrong before we take action.
Why should we treat our most valuable asset—our health—any differently?
Your Health Is Your Wealth
Good health underpins everything: your career, your family life, your financial stability, and your peace of mind. It’s easy to put it off, especially if you’re in your 30s or 40s and feel “generally fine.” But many conditions develop quietly over years without obvious symptoms.
A Complete Health Check is your opportunity to pause, take stock, and invest in staying well.
What Does a Complete Health Check Involve?
At The Doctors Lounge, we’ve designed our health assessments to be thorough, personalised, and reassuring.
Here’s what you can expect:
A Comprehensive Medical Consultation
We take the time to understand your personal and family medical history, your lifestyle, and any symptoms you may have.
Full Body Examination
Your doctor will assess key systems—heart, lungs, abdomen, neurological function—and look for early signs of disease.
Extensive Blood Testing
We test for a wide range of indicators, including:
Cholesterol and heart disease risk markers
Diabetes and glucose metabolism
Kidney and liver function
Thyroid disorders
Anaemia and vitamin deficiencies
Inflammatory markers
Prostate health markers (for men)
Hormonal health (including menopause and testosterone levels)
Blood Pressure and Cardiovascular Assessment
We check your blood pressure, pulse amongst other biometrics and use your heart tracing to build an assessment of your heart.
Lifestyle Review and Personalised Plan
You’ll leave with clear recommendations tailored to your health goals, whether that’s optimising energy, improving sleep, managing weight, or preventing disease.
Why Start in Your Late 30s?
Many of the conditions that impact our quality of life—like high cholesterol, pre-diabetes, or hypertension—develop silently. The earlier you identify them, the easier they are to reverse or manage.
Starting annual health checks in your late 30s sets a strong foundation for the decades ahead. It’s about prevention, not just cure.
Why Make It Annual?
Health changes over time. What was normal five years ago may not be now. An annual health check creates a clear record of your wellbeing so you can spot trends, make informed decisions, and act early. Think of it as your annual MOT for your body—a way to ensure you’re in the best shape to look after your loved ones, excel at work, and enjoy life without limitations.
Conditions We Commonly Identify Early:
Raised cholesterol and cardiovascular risk
Type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance
Anaemia and nutritional deficiencies
Thyroid dysfunction
Prostate issues and hormonal changes
High blood pressure
Early signs of liver or kidney disease
Because Your Family Needs You Well
When you prioritise your health, you’re investing in the wellbeing of your family too. You’re making sure you’re not just here — but healthy, energetic, and able to enjoy life with them.
Take the First Step
We believe that health is your greatest wealth. It’s what enables you to build your career, support your family, and live fully. If you haven’t had a health check in years—or ever—there’s no better time to start.
