Wider choice of health checks across the UK
Bupa opens the first of a new generation of Wellness Centres this month.
Now with more than 45 locations, including a new centre in Solihull, Bupa has an extensive nationwide network of health assessment centres.
In addition to a new set of assessments, featuring new tests, a range of supplementary health checks is being offered tailored to individual health needs. These include tests for early signs of stroke, heart, breast and liver disease.
Pauline McMichael, Customer Service Director for Bupa Health Assessments, said:
"All our tests meet our strict medical guidelines to ensure customers receive useful information enabling them to understand the real impact on their health. And as well as up to 40 tests there is also a consultation with a doctor who will explain the results and offer advice for the future. An in-depth report will follow a few days later.
Our health assessments are not run like a production line. We take the time to listen to concerns and treat customers and their health on an individual basis."
