Corporate Health Screening
City Health Clinic Edinburgh offers our corporate clients a comprehensive array of health screening services, each customised to meet the unique needs of your team and business. Engaging with one of our clinicians, either face-to-face or virtually, adds valuable context to these health screens.
Health screening is an effective tool for assessing health status, providing reassurance, or identifying potential health issues. At City Health Edinburgh, we understand that the true value of screening tests lies in the personalised interpretation of results by our doctors. Blood results, without considering the patient’s individual circumstances, can have limited usefulness.
Fortunately, most of our patients are in good health. Our doctors are deeply committed to health promotion and performance coaching, which is why our core health screening package includes up to 90 minutes of face-to-face time with a doctor, part of which can be devoted to lifestyle coaching if necessary.
Our experience has underscored the importance of continuity of care, relationship building, and tracking results over time through consecutive screenings. Starting with a health screen at our clinic helps establish a comprehensive baseline of your health, enhancing our ability to provide ongoing care during future GP consultations.
Unique Modular Approach: we recognise that each individual’s health needs are different. That’s why we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach to health screenings. Our screenings are modular, tailored to each client’s specific needs.
Our core screening package provides a sensible, thorough range of tests and examinations. In a preliminary appointment, we conduct initial blood tests and evaluate whether any additional modules might be beneficial. Our approach avoids unnecessary broad testing that can lead to false positives and potential harm. All screening results are carefully considered and discussed with our experienced doctors. If it’s necessary to transition back to the NHS, we facilitate this process, ensuring that your care continues seamlessly.
