- Description
- Why This Test?
- Uses of This Test
The Well Person Profile is an extensive general wellness blood test suitable for both men and women. It is designed to provide a broad, reliable overview of your current health by assessing key markers linked to conditions that often develop slowly and silently, frequently without noticeable symptoms until significant damage has occurred.
This profile evaluates multiple core body systems, including blood health, metabolism, cardiovascular risk, thyroid function, iron balance, liver and kidney health, and bone and muscle integrity. By identifying early signs of imbalance or dysfunction, the test supports preventative healthcare and helps you make informed lifestyle choices or seek treatment sooner—protecting long-term health and wellbeing.
Many common health conditions progress quietly over time and may not cause symptoms until they are well established. Blood testing is one of the most effective ways to detect early changes and take action before long-term complications develop.
This profile provides insight into several important areas of health:
Blood health and immunity – A full blood count helps detect anaemia, infection, immune changes, and clotting issues.
Diabetes Screening – HbA1c identifies raised blood glucose levels associated with prediabetes and diabetes, enabling early lifestyle or medical intervention.
Thyroid function – Thyroid disorders are common and difficult to diagnose based on symptoms alone. Imbalances can affect energy, mood, digestion, and temperature regulation.
Cholesterol and cardiovascular risk – High cholesterol significantly increases the risk of heart attack and stroke and rarely causes symptoms. Blood testing is the only reliable way to assess cardiovascular risk.
Iron and nutritional status – Iron plays a vital role in oxygen transport, energy levels, and immune function. Both deficiency and overload can affect wellbeing.
Liver and kidney function – These organs are responsible for detoxification, waste removal, and fluid balance. Early dysfunction may be present without symptoms.
Bone and muscle health – Markers support assessment of bone strength, muscle stress, and metabolic balance.
- Baseline health assessment
- Early detection of silent conditions
- Assess cardiovascular and metabolic risk

How accurate are home finger-prick tests compared to clinic tests?
Our home finger-prick tests use the same accredited laboratories as our clinic tests. While clinic tests allow for more comprehensive panels, home tests are highly accurate for the parameters they measure.
Do I need a GP referral for a blood test?
No, you don’t need a GP referral. You can book directly with us for any blood test. We are a private clinic offering direct access to comprehensive blood testing.
How old do I have to be to have a blood test?
We will only draw blood from those aged 16 and above due to legal requirements.
How long does it take for the blood test results to come?
If you have used our clinic to complete a blood test, we send off all samples the same day to the lab to be processed. If you have used a home test kit, then once your sample has been sent off the lab will analyse your sample. Results are usually received within 72 hours.
How do I perform the home finger-prick test?
Your home blood test kit will contain easy-to-follow instructions on how to take your own finger blood sample. If you have any concerns or questions prior to using the kit, please contact our phlebotomists who will be happy to assist.
How do I prepare for a blood test?
There is no preparation required prior to taking any of the blood tests. Please simply remember to stay hydrated prior to your appointment. This is to help your veins dilate better to enable a quick and efficient blood sample to be taken and reduce the risks of feeling faint following your blood test.
Please inform the phlebotomist before your test if you are currently taking any blood thinning medication.
Should I fast before my blood test?
Fasting is not required for most blood tests. However, if your profile includes cholesterol tests and you’ve previously had high levels, consider fasting for 8 hours beforehand. While not essential, fasting can provide more accurate results.
Note: Fasting means abstaining from any food and drink, except for water.
