Annual Check

Health Screening has successfully detected a variety of conditions early, allowing prevention and making treatment more effective. It can detect conditions including prostate and breast cancer, melanomas and cardiovascular irregularities. The programme has also been able to identify the underlying reasons behind tiredness, unexplained weight loss, and renal abnormalities.

​

JDoc365 Health Screening consists of a physical examination and tests to help us understand what is happening inside your body at a given point in time, and can provide the early warning needed to treat many conditions before they become more serious.

WHO BENEFITS MOST FROM A HEALTH SCREEN?

You may have an inkling if something doesn’t feel quite right. Do you have trouble sleeping? Are you stressed or anxious? Do you have diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol? If your lifestyle is sedentary, unbalanced or if you’re overweight, a smoker or a drinker, Health Screening may be a good idea as those of us who present a higher risk are likely to benefit most from the findings. Additionally it is a good idea to get yourself an annual well woman/well man screen from the age of 40 onwards.

WHAT DOES A HEALTH SCREENING CONSIST OF?

There is a clearly defined structure to each Health Screening. It’s not rigid though, so the doctor will be able to apply their years of training, experience and insight, tailoring the precise checks and tests to each patient depending on their history, any genetic factors and lifestyle observations.​

​

• 45-minute comprehensive JDoc Doctor consultation

• Review medical and social history, and medication

• Urine dipstick test

• Finger-prick glucose test

• Record vital measurements

• Blood pressure reading

​

We will look at you in a holistic way and will explore your sleep patterns, mental health, family history and medications. Your social history and place in the community may also be assessed to provide a true and three-dimensional picture of your state of health.

RESULTS

A Health Screening may reveal that a modest lifestyle adjustment is all that is needed to maximise the quality of life and longevity. Some conditions will warrant imaging or Specialist referral. The sooner treatment can begin, the better the likely outcome. A personal report will be forwarded to you for your records.
