Well Person Screen (DL6L) – Comprehensive Health Blood Test | Home Sample Collection

Check Your Overall Health with Our Comprehensive Well Person Screen

Take control of your health with the Well Person Screen (DL6L), a comprehensive blood test designed to assess your general wellbeing, identify nutritional deficiencies, monitor organ function, and screen for common health conditions before symptoms develop.

Performed by The Doctors Laboratory (TDL), one of the UK’s leading accredited medical laboratories, this extensive profile combines routine health screening with thyroid function, diabetes assessment, cholesterol testing and iron stores to provide a detailed overview of your current health. The profile includes Free T4, TSH, Ferritin and HbA1c, alongside comprehensive kidney, liver, blood count and lipid testing. Results are typically available within 1 working day after the laboratory receives your sample.

Whether you’re looking for an annual health check, monitoring an existing condition, or simply wanting reassurance about your health, this Well Person Screen provides valuable clinical information to help you make informed decisions.

What Does the Well Person Screen Test?

This comprehensive health profile includes over 40 important biomarkers covering multiple areas of health.

Full Blood Count (FBC)

Evaluates:

• Red blood cells
• White blood cells
• Haemoglobin
• Platelets
• Haematocrit

Helps identify:

• Anaemia
• Infection
• Inflammation
• Blood disorders

Kidney Function

Includes:

• Urea
• Creatinine
• eGFR
• Sodium
• Potassium
• Chloride
• Bicarbonate

These markers assess how efficiently your kidneys filter waste products and maintain healthy fluid and electrolyte balance.

Liver Function

Measures:

• ALT
• AST
• Gamma GT (GGT)
• Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)
• Bilirubin
• Albumin
• Total Protein
• Globulin

These tests help detect liver inflammation, damage or impaired liver function.

Cholesterol & Cardiovascular Risk

Includes:

• Total Cholesterol
• HDL Cholesterol
• LDL Cholesterol
• Non-HDL Cholesterol
• Triglycerides

Useful for assessing cardiovascular risk and monitoring the effects of diet, exercise and cholesterol-lowering medication.

Diabetes Screening

Includes:

HbA1c

Measures your average blood glucose over the previous 2–3 months and helps identify:

• Prediabetes
• Type 2 diabetes
• Diabetes control

Iron Studies

Ferritin

Ferritin reflects your body’s iron stores and is one of the earliest indicators of iron deficiency.

Low ferritin may cause:

• Fatigue
• Reduced exercise tolerance
• Hair loss
• Poor concentration
• Restless legs

High ferritin may indicate inflammation, liver disease or iron overload and should always be interpreted alongside other clinical information.

Thyroid Function

Includes:

• TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)
• Free T4 (Thyroxine)

These tests assess how well your thyroid gland is functioning.

Abnormal thyroid hormone levels can contribute to:

• Fatigue
• Weight changes
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Cold intolerance
• Hair thinning
• Palpitations

Bone & Metabolic Health

Includes:

• Calcium
• Phosphate
• Magnesium
• Uric Acid

These markers help assess mineral balance, bone health and conditions such as gout.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a good annual health check?

Yes. The Well Person Screen is one of the most comprehensive routine blood tests available and is ideal as an annual health assessment.

Can this detect diabetes?

Yes. The profile includes HbA1c, which screens for both prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes.

Does this include thyroid testing?

Yes. Both TSH and Free T4 are included, providing an assessment of thyroid function.

Why is ferritin included?

Ferritin measures your body’s stored iron and can identify iron deficiency before anaemia develops.
