Health Care Professionals: what screening do you do to monitor your health?

Hello, I am interested in knowing what Health Care Professionals do themselves for their own health screening? Is it regular blood tests, ultrasounds, whole body mri, or something different? I am wondering what my best option is for screening at early 40s. Mammography doesn't start until 50, no lung screening seems to be offered as far as I know, gynecology is only smear which regularly goes unsuccessful at my GP anyway. I would like to consider private screening either in UK or abroad, but don't know what my best options are. Obviously budget will limit the choice as well, but don't know what is best worth. Thank you very much!

Yes I’ve paid for my dc to have the chicken pox vaccine but didn’t think of that as screening. I would do meningitis too but can’t afford that especially as currently paying a fortune for private care for both my dc as the NHS has no services to support them
