HealthPlan Plus
HealthPlan Plus entitles patients to the detailed health assessment provided within HealthPlan, plus a more detailed and comprehensive blood test, providing a more detailed assessment of individual’s haematology and biochemistry, together with a vision and hearing test as detailed below:
Haematology These are very helpful tests for the health of the body. They assess any abnormality of blood cells (for instance, anaemia may be the first sign of serious disease of the gastro-intestinal tract) and any abnormality of plasma viscosity, an indicator for inflammatory, infective or malignant disease.
Biochemistry These tests assess the function of the kidneys, the liver and calcium metabolism. They identify any tendency to diabetes. Function of the thyroid gland is measured.
Vision Test A vision test is included in the full screening protocol. This vision test is particularly important for personnel who regularly use VDU screens as part of their work. Alternatively, a vision assessment can be carried out as a single test if required.
Hearing Test The hearing test is an assessment available at the Practice for anyone concerned about possible hearing loss. A hearing test (Audiogram) can assess hearing levels, particularly relevant where there has been past or current exposure to loud noise.
