What does the FCM Signature Health Check include and why does it cost £1,999?
The FCM Signature Health Check is not a standard medical once-over. It is designed for people who want to understand their health in detail and reduce future risks. You can think of it as servicing a high-performance vehicle, not because something is wrong, but to ensure everything is running at its best.
This private GP health assessment includes over 200 clinical tests. Many of these tests go far beyond what is available through the NHS or basic private clinics. The fee reflects the breadth of investigation, the clinical accuracy of its diagnostic blood screening, the time with experienced UK clinicians, and the depth of personalised feedback provided.
It is an excellent choice for anyone seeking clarity, early detection, and an expert-led view of their overall wellbeing. It allows for a full review of health without delays or rushed consultations.
Here's What We Have Covered In This Article
Who is this health check for?
This advanced private health screening is ideal for people who take a proactive approach to wellbeing. It is especially well-suited for:
- Busy professionals who want in-depth answers without long waiting times
- Individuals with a family history of conditions such as diabetes, cancer, or heart disease
- Health-conscious clients focused on optimising healthspan and protecting their longevity
- Anyone frustrated by short GP appointments or unexplained symptoms
This service is also popular among executives, high-performers, and those preparing for major life changes, including relocation, IVF, or starting a new fitness programme.
How does the Signature Health Check process work?
What should you expect when booking your private health screening?
You can book online or by phone, with appointments often available within a few days. It begins with a 60-minute consultation at Future Care Medical’s CQC-registered private GP centre. During this session, your doctor will review your health history, understand your lifestyle, and discuss any ongoing issues.
How long does the full body MOT take?
A trained phlebotomist will then collect your blood samples for analysis in an accredited laboratory. More than 200 health markers are reviewed. These range from hormonal balance and cancer indicators to vitamin levels and organ function. This is a pathology-led assessment that ensures results are interpreted with clinical precision.
What do you get at the follow-up?
Approximately two weeks later, you return for a 30-minute GP follow-up. During this session, your doctor will walk you through a 95-page personalised report. They will explain your results clearly and recommend lifestyle or clinical next steps based on your data.
Pro Tip: Bring your previous test results if you have them, as it helps your GP tailor your report.

1. Complete Blood Analysis and Biochemistry Markers
This part of the health assessment looks at blood composition and biochemistry. You will be tested for:
- Full Blood Count (FBC)
- Lipid profile including cholesterol and triglycerides
- Liver enzymes: ALT, AST, GGT
- Kidney health: urea, creatinine, eGFR
- Blood sugar (glucose) and iron status
- Thyroid hormones: TSH, T3, T4
- Urinalysis for hydration and kidney markers
These results help detect early signs of anaemia, metabolic issues, liver strain, or thyroid dysfunction.
2. Cardiovascular and Metabolic Health Screening
This part of the health screen focuses on your heart health and metabolism. Tests include:
- Blood pressure and body composition such as BMI
- Detailed cholesterol breakdown
- HbA1c for long-term glucose regulation
- C-reactive protein (CRP) to detect inflammation
- Risk indicators for metabolic syndrome
Understanding these results helps reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, or insulin resistance.
3. Hormonal and Endocrine System Assessment
Hormonal balance affects your energy, weight, sleep, and mood. The hormone panel measures:
- Testosterone, oestrogen, DHEA
- Cortisol to assess your stress response
- Thyroid panel: TSH, T3, T4
- Pituitary-related hormone markers
These insights are helpful if you have experienced fatigue, hormonal symptoms, or unexplained changes in mood or weight.
4. Cancer Risk & Tumour Marker Detection
Several tumour markers are included based on your age, sex, and health background. These may include:
- PSA for prostate health
- CA125 for ovarian risk
- CEA and AFP for general tumour indicators
- Other relevant tumour markers based on clinical review
This early detection health check helps to identify warning signs before symptoms develop. It also helps your doctor decide whether further testing is needed.
Pro Tip: If you’ve been feeling off but getting no answers, a health screen like this could uncover the reason.
5. Autoimmune and Inflammation Profiles
Autoimmune disorders are often subtle and difficult to diagnose. This section aims to detect them early. It includes:
- High-sensitivity CRP
- Epstein-Barr virus antibodies
- Autoimmune-related antibodies
These tests are especially useful for people experiencing long-term fatigue, cognitive fog, or recurring joint or muscle pain.
6. Liver, Kidney, Pancreas, and Organ Function Tests
These organs are responsible for detoxification, digestion, and metabolic balance. The tests include:
- Liver enzymes such as ALT, AST, GGT
- Kidney efficiency: eGFR and creatinine
- Pancreatic enzyme markers
These results help detect early signs of strain or damage before symptoms appear.
7. Nutritional & Digestive Health Panels
Nutritional deficiencies are common even in people with healthy diets. This panel checks:
- Vitamin D, B12, folate, and iron levels
- Digestive enzyme function
- Inflammatory markers and signs of poor nutrient absorption
Together, these help explain symptoms such as tiredness, frequent illness, or persistent digestive discomfort.
8. Neurological, Stress & Hormonal Balance Evaluation
This part assesses mental wellbeing and the nervous system. It includes:
- Cortisol pattern throughout the day
- Adrenal and pituitary hormone levels
- Neurochemical indicators linked to concentration, mood, and mental clarity
These results can provide explanations for burnout, low mood, or difficulty focusing.
9. Lifestyle Risk Assessment and Personalised GP Guidance
At the end of the process, your doctor will provide personalised feedback and guidance. You will receive:
- Health risk scores tailored to your test results
- Recommendations for dietary improvements, supplements, and lifestyle changes
- A realistic action plan to support your ongoing health goals
This transforms your results into clear steps for better wellbeing.
