Health Checks in Stanmore: Private GP-Led Screening to Catch Silent Killers Early | Niva Medical Clinic

Staying well isn’t just about treating symptoms — it’s about spotting problems before they cause harm. Conditions like high blood pressure (hypertension), type 2 diabetes, and atrial fibrillation (AF) often progress quietly and dramatically raise the risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney disease and cognitive decline. Evidence-based private health checks can pick these up early so you can act sooner.

Niva Medical Clinic offers comprehensive, private GP–led health assessments in Stanmore, welcoming patients from across North West London — including Harrow, Borehamwood, Bushey, Watford, Northwood, Edgware, Wembley, Kingsbury, Barnet and Hatch End — with clear pricing and swift results.


Why regular health checks matter

  • Hypertension: Often symptomless, yet a major cause of stroke, heart disease and kidney failure. Detecting and treating it early is life-saving.
  • Type 2 diabetes: Can silently damage blood vessels, eyes, kidneys and nerves. HbA1c screening identifies risk early.
  • Atrial fibrillation (AF): An irregular heartbeat that can remain hidden until a stroke occurs. Simple ECG checks during health screening can catch it early.

Private Health Check (Male & Female) — £300

A thorough private health screening delivered by an experienced private GP:

Physical Examination

  • Blood pressure and pulse check – vital for detecting hypertension and irregular rhythms
  • Oxygen saturations – assesses oxygen levels, circulation and lung function
  • BMI (Body Mass Index) – evaluates weight-related health risks
  • Cardiovascular (Heart) exam – heart sounds, circulation and vascular risk assessment
  • Respiratory (Lungs) exam – chest sounds, signs of asthma, COPD or other lung conditions
  • Abdominal exam – liver, bowel, kidney and digestive system health
  • ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat) check – common causes of chronic sinus, throat and ear problems
  • Female-specific: Clinical breast examination

Urine Test (Urinalysis)

Screens for:

  • Protein – possible kidney disease
  • Glucose – diabetes marker
  • Blood – stones, infections or inflammation

Comprehensive Blood Tests

(Each explained in patient-friendly detail)

  • Full Blood Count – anaemia, infection, blood disorders
  • Renal Function – kidney health, electrolytes, hypertension impact
  • Liver Function – alcohol, fatty liver, viral hepatitis, drug effects
  • Thyroid Function – hormone balance affecting weight, mood and energy
  • HbA1c (Diabetes check) – 3-month average blood sugar
  • Cholesterol & Lipids – heart disease and stroke risk
  • Uric Acid – gout, kidney stone and metabolic risk
  • Bone Profile – calcium, phosphate, alkaline phosphatase

Evidence-based approach

  • Blood pressure checks reduce stroke and heart attack risk when hypertension is caught early (WHO).
  • BMI monitoring links directly to diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular outcomes (NICE Obesity Guidance).

Many men begin to notice subtle but persistent changes after the age of 40. Energy levels dip, muscle becomes harder to maintain, recovery slows, mood can flatten, and sexual function may not feel as reliable as it once did. While these changes are often dismissed as “normal ageing”, the reality is more nuanced. Hormonal shifts, particularly in testosterone, interact closely with cardiovascular health, metabolism, mental wellbeing and erectile function.

Injectable weight-loss medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro have changed the conversation around obesity and type 2 diabetes.
