Health Checks
Sometimes you just want to know how well you really are.
Whilst your GP will offer tests if you present with a specific problem, the NHS can’t finance a full health check.
If you’re concerned about health risks you may have inherited, or about how your lifestyle may be affecting your health, these checks can bring peace of mind.
From diabetes to heart health, cancer risks to emotional health, the Nuffield’s private doctors will assess it all.
Finding out about problems early makes all the difference, and learning about what you can do to keep healthy could ward off some conditions altogether.
Thanks to our partnership with Nuffield Health, we’re able to offer a range of private health checks at a discounted rate. You don’t even need to be a customer of Westcountry Health Care. All you need to do is quote the unique code C1009796 when booking – or, call us and we will arrange everything for you. 0800 690 6990.
Choose from
- 360 Plus – the most in-depth health check for men and women
- 360 – a comprehensive review for men and women
- Female – a health check specifically for women
- Lifestyle – the best way to find out how your life is impacting your health
- Mammography – if you’re concerned about breast cancer, get it checked
Please be aware that if you’re looking for private health care in the event of any diagnoses, you’ll need to buy private health insurance before undergoing the health check, as pre-existing conditions are unlikely to be covered.
Put your future health in the hands of the professionals.

If your test results are a concern to the doctors, they will explain the situation and outline the next steps. They will write a letter to your personal doctor explaining what they’ve found and it is then up to you how you proceed.
Absolutely not, you can go back to your personal GP and seek their advice. If required, they can refer you for treatment within the NHS.
Please be aware that if you do want to continue with private treatment, you will be required to pay for it unless you already hold a private health insurance policy, which was taken out before your health assessment tests. That’s because pre-existing conditions are usually not covered under new policies. Our best advice to you is to take out a private health insurance policy at the same time you book a health assessment to ensure any subsequent treatment can continue privately.
This depends entirely on when you took out your insurance policy. If you had an existing policy before you went for your health check, then it is likely that you will be covered, according to the usual restrictions on your policy.
If you took out any sort of policy after having your health check, then you are unlikely to be covered. That’s because pre-existing conditions are usually not covered under new policies. Our best advice to you is to take out a private health insurance policy at the same time you book a health assessment to ensure any subsequent treatment can continue privately.

Testimonial
"My wife and I decided to take a private health check, as we felt we hadn’t had a thorough checkup for some years and wanted reassurance. The doctors were very thorough and professional and even discovered the early stages of a cancer I have since had treatment for. I’m not sure I would have noticed any symptoms for quite some time so I would thoroughly recommend these Health Checks. I am planning to continue to have assessments every two years. It’s not only discovered a problem I didn’t know I had, but my wife and I are even keener to live a healthy life from now on.
