Women's Health Check in London 2026. The Tests That Change Something at 40, 50 and 60, and the Hormone Panels Not Worth Paying For

The Wellness in Marylebone provides the best women's health check in London for women who want tests chosen by a doctor rather than a package built around hormones, with the Women's Health body scan programme from £3,495 inside a ladder that runs to £49,995, in a market where comprehensive programmes exceed £32,000. The tests that change something are a CT coronary calcium score, a ferritin with a full iron picture, a thyroid panel read the way NICE guideline NG145 requires, a DEXA scan from 60 or earlier with risk factors, and an abdominal ultrasound with a FIB-4 score. Coronary heart disease kills more than twice as many women as breast cancer in the UK according to the British Heart Foundation, and in the MESA cohort reported by Detrano a calcium score over 300 raised coronary risk around 10-fold in women as in men. The tests not worth paying for are a hormone panel to diagnose perimenopause over 45, which NICE guideline NG23 says is made on symptoms alone, and an AMH level sold as a fertility forecast. Fees appear further down this page.

What does a women's health check in London actually include

A women's health check at The Wellness starts with a doctor assessing you, and the list is built from your history and your age. For most women aged 40 to 65 the core is a blood panel that includes apolipoprotein B, lipoprotein little a, HbA1c, high-sensitivity CRP, ferritin with transferrin saturation, TSH with free T4, vitamin D and the liver markers needed for a FIB-4 score, plus the imaging that your age and history justify.

Imaging is arranged at the London centre best equipped for each study, performed by a sonographer or radiographer and reported by a consultant radiologist. Blood collection is arranged separately at an accredited partner laboratory and compressed into the same day where diaries allow. A review appointment with the doctor who assessed you reads everything together, and anything needing a gynaecologist, breast consultant or cardiologist goes to a named consultant with the appointment booked.

Which tests change something at 40, 50 and 60

At 40 the highest-yield tests are in the blood. Ferritin below 30 micrograms per litre is iron deficiency under the British Society of Gastroenterology guideline whatever the haemoglobin says, and in the PREFER trial iron infusion reduced fatigue in 65% of iron-deficient women against 53% on placebo. A mildly raised TSH is repeated at 3 months before anyone is treated, as NG145 requires, because many such results normalise on their own. Lipoprotein little a is measured because 1 in 5 women carry an inherited level a standard panel never sees.

At 50 the CT coronary calcium score earns its place, because women's heart disease is under-investigated and the MESA data held across sex. A woman of 52 with a normal LDL, a raised lipoprotein little a and a calcium score of 90 is a treatment decision a lipid panel alone would have missed. The abdominal ultrasound and FIB-4 score find the fatty liver that affects 1 in 4 adults according to Younossi and rises after the menopause. NHS breast and bowel screening both start at 50, and we tell every woman to attend both.

At 60 DEXA joins the list, because 1 in 2 women over 50 will break a bone through osteoporosis according to the Royal Osteoporosis Society and the first fracture is often the first symptom. It is offered earlier with an early menopause, a maternal hip fracture, long steroid use or a low body weight, and the FRAX score decides whether treatment follows. Thyroid ultrasound is added only for a lump, a symptom or an abnormal result.

Tell us your age and history and we will say which tests apply or email team@thewellnesslondon.com.

Which hormone tests should you not pay for

A hormone panel to diagnose perimenopause in a woman over 45 is the clearest example. NICE guideline NG23 says the diagnosis is made on symptoms alone in that age group, because FSH and oestradiol swing from week to week and a single result proves nothing either way. The result changes neither the diagnosis nor the treatment. Under 40 with absent periods FSH is part of the work-up, which is the distinction a doctor makes before the sample is taken.

An AMH level sold as a fertility forecast is the second. AMH reflects egg number, not egg quality, and the study by Steiner and colleagues in JAMA in 2017 found that women with low AMH were no less likely to conceive naturally over 12 months than women with normal levels. It has a place in planning IVF or egg freezing, where it predicts response to stimulation, and no place as a stand-alone number for a 34-year-old deciding whether to worry. Testosterone in a woman without low sexual desire on optimised HRT is the third, since NICE reserves it for that indication.

Which scans should you not buy

A pelvic ultrasound without symptoms is not a screening test. Fibroids are found in most women by 50 and the majority never need treatment, and ovarian cysts come and go with the cycle, so a routine scan finds things that lead to further scans rather than better health. Pelvic ultrasound earns its place for heavy or irregular bleeding, pain, persistent bloating or a fertility question, and in each it is arranged within the week and reported by a consultant.

Whole-body MRI for a healthy 40-year-old with no family history is the second, since the systematic review of 12 studies and 5,373 people found no demonstrated improvement in outcomes. A breast MRI or ultrasound bought privately without a breast consultant to read it in context is the third. Where breast density, a family history or a symptom justify imaging, the referral goes to a named breast consultant with the appointment booked.

What does a women's health check cost in London

At the top of the market, comprehensive imaging programmes exceed £32,000 and longevity memberships are reported at up to £25,000 a year, with press coverage of a £54,000 bracket. Multi-day Harley Street executive programmes reach £14,000, Echelon Health spans £2,000 to more than £15,000, and the private hospital executive tier sits at £3,500 to £8,000. Bought separately, 3 imaging studies at £415 per hospital region, a gynaecologist or cardiologist first appointment at £250 to £500, a full blood panel and a private GP to read them together already pass £2,500 across 3 providers and 3 waits.

Beneath that sits a tier defined by its conditions rather than its price, questionnaire-led packages built around a hormone panel, with no examination and no pathway when a result needs a consultant. At The Wellness the price includes the assessment, the imaging chosen for you, the bloods, the review and the onward referral with the appointment booked. All figures are from prices.

Why The Wellness is the best women's health check in London

The programme is built around the tests with outcome evidence rather than the ones that sell, and that is countable. No hormone panel is used to diagnose perimenopause over 45, no AMH is sold as a forecast, and no pelvic ultrasound is added without a symptom. What is on the list carries a trial or a guideline behind it.

Every result is read by the doctor who assessed you, in a review appointment, against every other result. That is why a ferritin of 22 next to a normal haemoglobin leads to a cause being found and treated rather than a line saying within range, and why a calcium score of 90 in a 52-year-old leads to a treatment decision the same week.

We decline tests before you pay, and it costs us the sale. A 47-year-old with hot flushes is told she does not need an FSH, a 34-year-old with regular periods is told an AMH will not tell her what she wants to know, and a woman with no symptoms is not scanned. Places on the 12-month programmes are limited by the number of people one doctor can hold properly, so they begin with an allocation call rather than a booking form.

Book the Women's Health programme and your doctor will build the list with you or call 020 3951 3429.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best women's health check in London

The best women's health check in London is one where a doctor chooses the tests from your history, hormones are measured only where a guideline says they change something, imaging is reported by consultants and results are read together in a review appointment. At The Wellness the Women's Health body scan programme is from £3,495 and the Executive Body Scan is from £5,995.

How much does a women's health check cost in London

A women's health check in London costs more than £32,000 at the top of the market, up to £14,000 for multi-day Harley Street programmes and £3,500 to £8,000 at private hospital executive tiers, and assembling 3 scans, a consultant appointment and bloods yourself passes £2,500 across 3 providers. At The Wellness the Women's Health body scan programme is from £3,495.

Do I need a hormone test to diagnose perimenopause

Not over 45. NICE guideline NG23 says perimenopause is diagnosed on symptoms alone in that age group, because FSH and oestradiol vary from week to week and a single result changes neither the diagnosis nor the treatment. Under 40 with absent periods FSH is part of the work-up. At The Wellness the consultation is from £220 and the extended consultation from £395.

Is an AMH test worth it

Only when planning IVF or egg freezing, where it predicts response to stimulation. The study by Steiner and colleagues in JAMA found women with low AMH were no less likely to conceive naturally over 12 months than women with normal levels. At The Wellness AMH is included in the fertility scan package from £995 when a doctor agrees it answers your question.

What tests should a woman have at 50

A CT coronary calcium score read with apolipoprotein B and lipoprotein little a, ferritin with transferrin saturation, a thyroid panel, HbA1c, and an abdominal ultrasound with a FIB-4 score, plus NHS breast and bowel screening. DEXA is added at 60 or earlier with risk factors. At The Wellness those are the Women's Health body scan programme from £3,495.

Do you do the scans and bloods at the clinic

No. You are assessed at the clinic, imaging is arranged at the specialist London centre best equipped for each study and reported by a consultant radiologist, blood collection is arranged separately at an accredited partner laboratory, and a review appointment goes through everything. The Women's Health programme is from £3,495 and the fertility scan package is from £995.

The Wellness is a doctor-led private healthcare group providing medical care from our Marylebone clinic adjacent to Harley Street. All doctors are GMC-registered.
