Are private health screening checks any good?

[jacquelis2]

I have received a letter and brochure from Bluecrest Health Screening offering loads of tests incl. haemotology profile for £199. I was wondering if anyone has any experience of them and if so, would they recommend them? Thanks in advance. Jax

Ive only used Blue Horizon. They have thyroid blood tests you can order for abou £99. They email the results to you.

£199 is a bit steep. There are much cheaper tests out there.

Well, you can usually get a full blood count for nothing on the NHS if you complain of tiredness (in case you are anaemic). If you do decide to go for private tests, better fo go for Genova or Blue Horizon and use the TUK code to get a discount.
