What is it?

Have your overall health and fitness checked out at a time and place that suits you. You can choose from two levels of health screen so you can select the level of cover that is right for you:

  • Mini Health Screen

    This is a 20 minute assessment that will measure your, total cholesterol, height, weight/BMI, blood pressure, resting heart rate, blood glucose. You will be provided with a biometric report card straight after your appointment and some health guidance and tips to take away with you.

  • Well Person Plus Health Screen

    This 90 minute assessment is a more comprehensive screening. This offers a range of testing and thorough consultation time with a doctor and nurse which is an ideal opportunity for you to talk about all aspects of your health in complete confidence. In addition to what is covered in the Mini Heath Screen your urine, lung function, hearing and vision are measured. You will also have a full physical assessment and a resting ECG which looks at the health of your heart.

    You’ll leave with immediate feedback on most tests, with later confirmation of the results of tests which require laboratory analysis, and a clear plan of action for the future if necessary.

Dave

I think I’m fairly healthy, but I’m keen to confirm this as I’ve never had a cholesterol or blood glucose reading. It’s also been a long time since I’ve had measurements such as my BMI and blood pressure taken. My dad was shocked when he recently found out he had a high cholesterol and it would give me peace of mind to understand what my readings are. That way, if I need to, I can take action now to help me avoid or reduce any health issues later in my life and through my Aviva flex, it will only cost me £3.50 a month with the Mini Health Screen.

Judy

Since my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer, I've been very aware of the need to have regular and detailed check-ups. So I'm going to choose a Well person plus screen. It costs £32 per month through my Aviva flex and will give me the peace of mind of a full 'MOT'.
