Have you ever had a BUPA health check? Worth it?

[Rainallnight]

DP and I are old parents and want to stay healthy for as long as possible. We’ve cut back on booze and are losing weight so doing all the obvious things.

We’re considering doing a BUPA health check but wondering if it’s worth it.

Has anyone done one? Really interested in real life experiences.

Thanks!

Bump!

bumping for you as I've been thinking of getting one.

I had one, there were a few niggling things that I wouldn't have made a GP appointment specifically for which the BUPA GP there refused to discuss saying I needed to see my own GP - like I have a family history of nasal polyps, I think I have some, she wouldn't even look. That said they checked everything, did a smear and gave me lunch. DH used to have one annually and actually got a mole lopped off then stitched up and it sent for biopsy during his appointment- hence me being nonplussed they wouldn't even look up my nose!

Yes, I have an annual medical with BUPA, a work benefit. Well worth it for me as I tend to suffer on occasion with health anxiety, so this has helped put my mind at rest. I like the way that you get the results from all the various tests there and then, with the exception of the smear test of course. The GPs are usually friendly and approachable.

Go for it. Ecg, smear, blood tests, msk check and half an hour with a gp. Blood results given whilst you're there.

Yes. I used to get them as a work benefit but am seriously considering paying for one as an annual "treat".

Do you know if they're still doing them at the moment?

How much are they?
