New annual MOT blood test that spots almost every illness in 24 hours
When you can’t put your finger on a health problem, a GP appointment is usually your first port of call. Whether it’s tiredness or a tickly cough, an itchy rash or just a funny feeling, docs will give you a once over and maybe ship you off to hospital for a blood test or two. Money is tight right now, but if you could skip the waiting room and sort your health out in one fell swoop, wouldn’t it be worth it? Well, for £149 you can get a one-time Well Man/Woman comprehensive blood test that’ll pick up everything from diabetes to diseases – and even organ failure! “If you’re under 50, you can’t have a blood test on the NHS unless they suspect a problem,” says Dr Tom Van De Bossche, from The London Medical Laboratory.
