Well Man and Well Woman Health “MOT” s
Before you arrive at the clinic you should complete the health questionnaire that will have been sent or emailed to you. This helps us to understand your background health, medical conditions and current treatments. If you are unsure of any questions, don’t worry, we will run through it all during your health screening.
Your appointment will take one hour with the doctor. She will check your height, weight, measure your waist and hips. Your blood pressure will be taken and a heart tracing (ECG). While you are comfy on the couch, we do another set of tests called a body stat. This is painless and involves sticking adhesive tabs on your wrist and ankle and it tells us what your body is made up of. This is useful for giving dietary advice. There is a general physical examination and for men there is the option of a testicular examination, and for the ladies a breast examination.
These are not compulsory and if you do not feel comfortable having these examinations just let Dr Dickson know and she can talk you through self-examination. Finally, we take a blood sample and test your urine. The bloods we test for include:
Full blood count
Kidney and liver function
Cholesterol and Lipid Profile
Thyroid function
Glucose control – random glucose and HbA1c which looks at longer term control.
PSA for men and Ca125 for women.
If there are any other test or investigations, you are interested in please feel free to discuss during the consultation.
What happens next: Your results will be received and reviewed by Dr Dickson within 2-3 working days. If there is a significant result, she will ring you directly to discuss. For all other results she will complete a detailed report and you should receive this within 14 days. Once you have received your report, we recommend you read it through and if you are unsure of anything you can email Dr Dickson with any queries. If you prefer to discuss things further face to face this can be arranged, however it is not included in the health MOT package
