What we check

22 markers across 6 areas of your health

In a single blood draw, the Basic Screen covers the essentials — the areas most worth keeping an eye on. Here's what each group can tell you.

Cholesterol & heart risk

A full lipid profile — total, "good" HDL, "bad" LDL, triglycerides and the cholesterol ratio — to gauge cardiovascular risk.

5 markers

Blood sugar

A glucose check can help identify or rule out raised blood sugar — an early sign of pre-diabetes.

1 marker

Liver function

ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, bilirubin and albumin show how your liver is coping with alcohol, diet and medication.

6 markers

Kidney & salts

Creatinine, eGFR, urea and key electrolytes give a rounded picture of kidney function and hydration.

7 markers

Inflammation

CRP and high-sensitivity CRP flag underlying inflammation that may point to infection or other conditions.

2 markers

Full blood count

Red cells, white cells and platelets give a broad picture of anaemia, infection and general blood health.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions, answered

What does the Basic Screen check?
It is our popular entry-level health check — 22 markers in one blood draw. It covers your cholesterol and heart risk, blood sugar, liver function, kidney function and salts, inflammation, and a full blood count. It is a quick, affordable way to get a broad snapshot of your health.
Is this the right test if I just want a simple check-up?
Yes. The Basic Screen is designed as a sensible first-line check for anyone who wants a broad overview without paying for a more detailed panel. If you would like to add iron studies, vitamins or thyroid testing, the Lifestyle Screen or Standard Screen Plus go further.
Do I need to fast before this blood test?
Because this panel includes cholesterol and glucose, we usually recommend avoiding food for a few hours beforehand for the most accurate readings. Water is fine. Our team will confirm any preparation when you book.
How long do results take?
We process your sample promptly and contact you as soon as your clinician-reviewed results are ready — turnaround varies by test. Every result is reviewed by a clinician, who flags anything outside the normal range with a clear explanation and guidance on sensible next steps.
Do I need a GP referral?
No referral is needed. You can book directly online or by calling 0121 387 3727. Same-week appointments are available 7 days a week, 8am to 8pm.
What happens if a result comes back abnormal?
A clinician reviews every panel before it is released. If something is outside the normal range, we explain what it means in plain English and recommend sensible next steps — which may include a GP appointment, a repeat test, or onward referral. This test is a screening investigation and is not a substitute for a clinical diagnosis.

Understanding your Basic Screen results

Each result in your Basic Screen is reviewed by a clinician before release. Below is a plain-English guide to the key markers included in this panel.

Key Biomarkers

This panel assesses the key markers relevant to basic screen. Each result is reviewed by a clinician who will flag any values outside the expected range for your age and sex.

Reference Ranges

Reference intervals are population-derived and should be interpreted alongside your symptoms and clinical history — a result within range does not always exclude pathology, and a mildly out-of-range result may be clinically insignificant in isolation.

Reference ranges vary between laboratories and are influenced by age, sex, and other individual factors. This information is for educational purposes only and does not replace a clinical consultation. The Vesey reviews every result before it is released to you.
