Private Health Checks & Preventive Care for Chesham Patients

Introduction

One in three adults will develop a preventable chronic condition by middle age — early detection changes outcomes. At Mayfield Clinic we offer private health checks for Chesham residents that focus on early identification, practical advice and clear follow-up. Appointments are longer than standard NHS checks, and we tailor every plan to you.

What is a private health check at Mayfield Clinic?

Our private health checks in Chesham are comprehensive health assessments designed to spot issues before they become serious. You get an extended consultation with a named doctor, a full set of blood tests, targeted screening and a personalised health plan. We call it a private health MOT because it looks at heart health, metabolic risk, hormonal balance and lifestyle factors together.

How the assessment works

First, a nurse-led vitals check including blood pressure, BMI and ECG where indicated. Then a detailed clinical history with one of our GPs who know the local communities around Chesham. Extensive blood testing follows — cholesterol, HbA1c, liver and kidney function, thyroid, iron studies and more. Results are explained clearly and recorded in your plan with actionable steps and safety-netting.

Why choose private screening over standard checks?

Private health screening in Chesham at Mayfield Clinic offers faster access and longer appointments so we can explore symptoms and risks properly. You’ll see the same named doctor for continuity of care. We also include tests not routinely offered on the NHS, enabling earlier detection of conditions such as thyroid disease, pre-diabetes and certain vitamin deficiencies.

Personalised preventive medicine

We translate results into a practical plan. That might include lifestyle prescriptions: targeted exercise, dietary changes, sleep advice and stress management. Where medication is appropriate we discuss options and monitoring. Follow-up can be arranged digitally or in person at our Amersham clinic — we serve Chesham patients from our Amersham location to deliver specialist diagnostics and clinic facilities that benefit the wider Chilterns community.

Fast access, named doctor continuity

One of our priorities for Chesham patients is rapid access to care. You can book online via the Book now button for the earliest available appointments. Members also have phone and WhatsApp booking options and can book directly for ongoing reviews with the same named doctor to maintain continuity and trust.

Examples of what we catch early

During routine private health checks we've identified early atrial fibrillation on ECGs, pre-diabetic HbA1c levels and low vitamin D linked to fatigue. A local Chesham patient who cycled daily discovered raised blood pressure on a check; early treatment prevented further cardiometabolic risk. Small tests, big difference.

Who should consider a private health MOT?

Adults aged 30+, people with a family history of heart disease or diabetes, those with unexplained symptoms such as persistent fatigue or weight change, and anyone wanting a thorough baseline examination. If you live in Chesham and want quick, personalised care, our preventive healthcare service is designed for you.

What to expect after your check

We send a clear report including your results, personalised recommendations and an agreed monitoring plan. Where needed we arrange specialist referral or repeat testing. For Chesham patients who require in-person follow-up you will be seen at our Amersham clinic (details at Mayfield Clinic Amersham), while local information is available on our Chesham page (Mayfield Clinic Chesham).

If you’re unsure which package suits you, book a consultation and we’ll recommend the right level of screening.

Practical tips before your appointment

Avoid heavy exercise and alcohol for 24 hours prior to blood tests. Fast for 8–12 hours if your package includes fasting lipids or glucose. Bring a list of current medications and any family history of chronic illness. If you live in Chesham and travel to Amersham for your appointment, plan for a short drive or local transport — our reception team can advise on parking and arrival times.

Further reading and support

Preventive medicine is most effective when combined with ongoing lifestyle support. We offer repeat testing, digital monitoring and personalised coaching as needed. For details about services for Chesham patients, visit our Chesham page at https://www.mayfieldclinic.co.uk/nearby-locations/chesham.
