Well Man Blood Test Panel
The Well Man blood test is designed to give you a clear, complete picture of your health — think of it as an annual service for your body. Rather than waiting for symptoms to appear, regular screening lets you spot changes early, understand how your key systems are performing, and make targeted changes before small issues become bigger ones.
Our Well Man profile covers the areas most relevant to men’s health and long-term wellbeing: heart health, metabolic function, hormone levels, thyroid, liver and kidney health, iron, prostate, and vitamin D. Your sample is processed by Nationwide Pathology, a UKAS-accredited UK laboratory, with results returned the next working day.
What’s included
The Well Man profile covers 11 key areas of men’s health in a single blood draw appointment. Here’s what each marker is checking and why it matters:
| Test | What it checks | Why it matters for men |
|---|---|---|
| Full Blood Count | Red cells, white cells, platelets, haemoglobin | Detects anaemia, immune issues, and general health baseline |
| Kidney Function | eGFR, creatinine, urea, electrolytes | Key baseline for men — kidneys are affected by diet, exercise, and medications |
| Liver Function | Liver enzymes and proteins (ALT, AST, ALP, albumin) | Affected by alcohol, diet, statins, and supplements — often silently |
| Cholesterol (Lipid Profile) | Total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides | Men are at higher cardiovascular risk earlier than women — essential annual check |
| HbA1c | Average blood sugar over 3 months | Screens for pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes — very common and often symptomless early on |
| Testosterone | Total testosterone level (nmol/L) | Low testosterone causes fatigue, low mood, reduced libido, and muscle loss — often missed |
| Thyroid Function | TSH and Free T4 | Thyroid dysfunction affects energy, weight, mood, and heart rate |
| Vitamin D | 25-OH vitamin D level (nmol/L) | Deficiency is very common in the UK and linked to fatigue, low mood, and immune function |
| Ferritin | Ferritin (iron stores) | Low ferritin is a frequent cause of fatigue even without anaemia; elevated ferritin can indicate inflammation. Full iron studies can be added if indicated |
| PSA | Prostate-specific antigen (ng/mL) | Elevated PSA can indicate prostate enlargement or, less commonly, prostate cancer — useful baseline from age 40 |
| CRP | C-reactive protein (inflammation marker) | Raised CRP indicates systemic inflammation — linked to cardiovascular risk and lifestyle factors |
Who is the Well Man test for?
This profile is suitable for any adult male who wants a clear picture of their health. You don’t need symptoms to benefit — many men use it as an annual check, a starting point after a period of poor health, or a baseline before making lifestyle changes.
- Annual health check or “MOT”
- Feeling tired, low in energy, or run down
- Concerned about heart health or cholesterol
- Family history of diabetes, heart disease, or prostate cancer
- Low mood, reduced motivation, or libido changes
- Struggling to lose weight or build muscle
- Over 40 and wanting a prostate baseline
- Starting a new diet, exercise programme, or supplement regime
- Recently diagnosed with a condition and wanting a broader picture
- Pre-50 health review
