Diagnostics at home
Health check at home
A GP-led health check in your home.
From £175
This is not an emergency service. If someone has chest pain, stroke signs, severe breathing difficulty, heavy bleeding or collapse, call 999 or go to A&E. We work alongside the NHS, not instead of it.
About this service
A home health check is a GP visit focused on prevention: blood pressure, history, examination, and tests that can be done in the house. The large 22-area clinic packages stay on friendsmedicalservice.com so we do not cannibalise those pages. If you need the full clinic package, we send you there.
Is this right for me?
- Someone who will not attend clinic but will see a GP at home
- A parent whose family wants a proper once-over
- A first visit before a care package

After your visit
If we find something that needs the clinic or hospital, we say so plainly.

FAQs
Is this the same as the comprehensive clinic health check?
No. The comprehensive clinic packages are at Friends Medical Service. This is a GP-led check in the home, with a smaller set of tests.
