Personalised health assessments
Private health screening shaped around you
A health assessment is an opportunity to discuss your medical history, concerns and risk factors with a GP. At The Nine Clinic, health screening is tailored to your circumstances rather than presented as a single set of tests for everyone.
Your doctor can explain which checks may be useful, what they can and cannot tell you, and how the results could affect your care. Contact the team to discuss a Harley Street screening appointment and request an individual quote.
Telephone: 020 3084 1600.
What an assessment can include
Your appointment begins with a discussion of your health, family history, medicines and any concerns. Your GP may carry out an examination and recommend investigations where appropriate. The exact assessment and tests depend on your needs and should be agreed with you.
The clinic's screening service includes a report and advice about the findings and next steps. Before booking, ask the team to confirm the proposed appointment length, investigations, report and follow-up arrangements for your assessment.
If you have new symptoms, tell the team when arranging your appointment. You may need a consultation to investigate those symptoms rather than a routine screening package.
Making an informed choice
Screening may identify a risk or finding that warrants further assessment, but it cannot rule out every condition or guarantee future health. Tests can produce false-positive or false-negative results. An unexpected result may lead to further investigations that have their own limitations and costs.
Your GP can discuss the likely benefits and disadvantages of proposed checks in your circumstances. You can ask why a test is being suggested, what a result might change and what alternatives are available.
Private screening does not replace appropriate NHS screening invitations. Discuss any overlap with your clinician so that your care is coordinated and unnecessary duplication is avoided.
Preparing for a health screening appointment
Bring your medication list and relevant previous results, together with information about your personal and family medical history. Make a note of the concerns or changes you would like to discuss.
The team will explain any preparation needed for agreed tests. Do not assume you need to fast, and do not change prescribed medicines without clinical advice.
Let the clinic know about access requirements or other arrangements that would help you attend comfortably.
Understanding your results
Your doctor will explain the findings in the context of your health and history. A result may lead to advice, monitoring, further investigation or specialist assessment. A normal result is not a reason to ignore new or persistent symptoms.
Ask how your report will be shared, when you should expect it and whether a follow-up appointment is included in the quoted service. Different investigations can have different turnaround times.
The appropriate interval for another assessment depends on your circumstances and the checks involved. There is no single screening schedule that suits everyone.
Cost and Harley Street appointments
Health screening is quoted individually. Contact the team to discuss your requirements and confirm what is included, including consultation time, agreed investigations, the report and any follow-up. Further tests or referrals may involve additional fees.
The Harley Street clinic is at 78 Harley Street, London W1G 7HJ. Contact the team to arrange screening rather than assuming a standard GP booking covers the full assessment.
Questions about health screening
Is this a fixed full-body check?
No. The service is tailored to your history and needs. Ask the team to explain the proposed assessment and costs.
Will screening detect every illness?
No. Each test has a particular purpose and limitations. Discuss symptoms with a doctor regardless of a screening result.
Do I need screening every year?
The right timing depends on the individual and the specific checks. Your GP can advise; an annual package is not automatically appropriate for everyone.
Can I book if I already have symptoms?
Tell the team about them. A diagnostic GP consultation may be more appropriate than routine screening.
Does private screening replace NHS screening?
No. Continue to consider relevant NHS invitations and discuss them with your clinician.
The Nine Clinic also has a Sloane Square clinic. Contact the team to confirm service availability and booking arrangements for your preferred location.
