A private health assessment in Sutton Coldfield at The Vesey gives you a medically supervised, comprehensive view of your current health — identifying risks before they become problems. Our three-tier programme (Essential, Advanced, and Executive) provides structured, clinician-led health screening designed for busy adults who want actionable insight rather than a simple blood test and a letter.
What Is a Private Health Assessment?
A private health assessment goes beyond a single blood test or GP consultation. It combines a range of clinical investigations — blood tests, physical measurements, cardiovascular checks, and a thorough clinician review — to build a complete picture of your current health status. Unlike an NHS health check, which has a defined format for those aged 40–74, a private health assessment can be tailored to your age, risk factors, family history, and personal health goals.
The key benefit of a health assessment is early identification. Many serious conditions, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, thyroid dysfunction, anaemia, and early markers of organ dysfunction, produce no obvious symptoms in their early stages. A structured blood and clinical screen can identify these markers years before they would otherwise come to clinical attention.
At The Vesey, all health assessments are delivered through Full Health Medical, a specialist clinical platform used by leading private hospitals across the UK. Results are reviewed by a qualified clinician who can contextualise findings and recommend appropriate next steps.
The Three Assessment Tiers Explained
The Essential Health Assessment (£99) is our entry-level screen, covering a panel of 20+ core blood markers including full blood count, liver and kidney function, thyroid function, HbA1c for diabetes risk, cholesterol profile, and key vitamins and minerals. It is suitable for adults who want a solid baseline health snapshot without extensive testing.
The Advanced Health Assessment (£275) significantly extends the Essential package with additional markers including hormone profiles, cardiovascular risk scoring, inflammation markers (CRP and ESR), and a broader nutritional panel. It also includes a BMI and body composition assessment and a clinician review call to discuss findings in detail.
The Executive Health Assessment (£499) is our most comprehensive programme, including everything in the Advanced package plus 80+ blood markers, cancer risk markers, an electrocardiogram (ECG), an in-person consultation with a GP or specialist, and a printed health report with personalised lifestyle and medical recommendations.
Who Should Have a Health Assessment?
Health assessments are valuable at any age, but are particularly recommended for adults over 35 with a family history of heart disease, diabetes, or cancer; anyone who has not had a health check in more than two years; patients with unexplained fatigue, weight changes, or mood symptoms; those in high-pressure occupations where NHS appointments are difficult to schedule; and anyone starting a new fitness programme or making significant lifestyle changes.
Corporate health assessments are also available at The Vesey for employers who want to offer workplace health screening as an employee benefit. Group pricing is available, and results are kept entirely confidential — employers receive only anonymised population health data if requested.
Men are statistically less likely to present to a GP with symptoms and more likely to benefit from proactive health screening. Our Men's Health package within the Advanced tier includes PSA (prostate-specific antigen), testosterone, and cardiovascular risk markers specifically relevant to male health.
What Happens After Your Health Assessment?
After your assessment, results are processed by our laboratory partner and reviewed by a clinician, typically within 48–72 hours. You receive your results through a secure online portal with a clinician commentary explaining each result and whether it falls within the normal range.
If any results are outside normal parameters or borderline, you will be contacted by our clinical team to discuss findings and recommended next steps. This might include a follow-up GP appointment, a referral to a specialist, or lifestyle and medication recommendations.
For Executive Assessment patients, the in-person consultation allows your GP to combine the blood results with a physical examination, creating a genuinely comprehensive clinical picture. You leave with a written action plan covering diet, exercise, supplementation, and any indicated medical follow-up.

The Essential Assessment requires a 15-minute phlebotomy appointment. The Advanced Assessment takes approximately 30–45 minutes. The Executive Assessment, including in-person consultation, takes around 90 minutes.
Do I need to fast before my health assessment?
For accurate fasting glucose, insulin, and lipid results, you should fast for 8–12 hours before your appointment. Water is fine to drink. We will confirm preparation requirements when you book.
Is a health assessment covered by private health insurance?
Many health insurance policies include annual health assessments as a benefit. Check your specific policy, as some require pre-authorisation. Our team can assist with insurance documentation.
