Health assessments are also useful for preventative health checks. They can detect problems in their early stages and highlight any risk factors for certain conditions that might run in your family. More advanced problems and underlying conditions that haven't yet been diagnosed can be detected at a health assessment, enabling you to access the right treatment quickly.
There are many reasons why you might want to have a health assessment at Thornbury Hospital. You might be worried about your health or some symptoms you have, or there might be a history of health issues in your family that you want to check your risk of.
After your assessment takes place, you will receive advice and recommendations based on your personalised consultation and results.
We also have a wide range of additional tests available. Please discuss these with your specialist at your assessment if you have a particular concern you would like to address. If any tests are not clinically appropriate for you, your specialist will advise you. Please note that additional tests will incur an extra fee.
