WORKPLACE HEALTH
Executive Medicals
Make time to understand your health. Our GP-led Executive Medical brings together a review of your medical history, a physical examination and personalised advice to help you make informed decisions about your care.
PRIVATE HEALTH MOT
Your Executive Medical provides time to review your health, consider relevant risk factors and discuss practical next steps with your GP. You can book an Executive Medical for yourself or through your employer. You don’t need a company arrangement to book directly with us.
Your Personalised Executive Medical
Dedicated time with an experienced GP to assess your current health and consider your next steps with confidence.
An Assessment Centred on You
Your appointment gives your GP time to consider your medical and family history, lifestyle, individual risk factors and any concerns you would like to discuss. The aim is to understand what matters for your health and identify whether anything needs further attention. If you have symptoms, let us know: these require clinical assessment, and a screening test alone cannot explain or rule out their cause.
Optional Investigations
Depending on your circumstances, your GP may recommend blood tests, an ECG or spirometry. These are optional and carry additional charges, which we discuss with you before proceeding. Your GP will explain why a test may be useful, its limitations and how the result could inform your care.
Understanding Your Results
You’ll receive a detailed report with your clinician’s assessment and recommendations. Your GP will explain relevant findings in the context of your wider health and discuss any appropriate next steps, including further assessment or specialist referral where needed.
Detailed Health Insights
As part of your health assessment, we offer a wide range of blood and urine tests to give you a clear picture of your wellbeing. These are testing options, rather than a standard panel included in every Executive Medical.
Testing Options
Your GP will advise which, if any, are appropriate. However, they may include checks for vitamin and mineral levels, nutrition, liver and kidney function, and immune health - including markers of viral immunity. If needed, we can also carry out swab tests for signs of infection and analyse sputum samples to investigate any concerns. Additional charges apply.

Can your business fund employee health checks tax-free?
Supporting your team’s health may also offer a tax advantage. Certain employer-funded health checks can qualify for an exemption, subject to HMRC’s conditions.
What qualifies, and what’s excluded?
An employer can provide an employee with up to one qualifying health-screening assessment and one qualifying medical check-up per tax year without these being treated as a taxable benefit, provided HMRC’s conditions are met. This tax-free benefit may also apply to company directors who are employees of their business.
HMRC exclusions
The exemption does not cover medical treatment or medical checks connected with treatment. Additional investigations and follow-up care should not automatically be assumed to qualify.
What about family members?
Employer-funded assessments for an employee’s family or household members generally create a taxable benefit for the employee, unless the person receiving the assessment is also an employee of the employer providing it.
Always check with your accountant
Tax treatment depends on the services provided and how the arrangement is structured. Please check with your accountant or tax adviser before treating an assessment as exempt.
