Preventive Health Review
A preventive consultation considers your health history and which screening or lifestyle measures are appropriate.
Personal risk assessment
Age, family history, existing conditions and daily habits help guide the discussion. Bring any screening or vaccination records you have.
Choosing useful checks
Testing should be selected for an individual reason rather than assuming more tests always mean better care. Ask what a test can show and what would happen after an abnormal result.
A practical plan
The clinician may discuss tobacco cessation, nutrition, physical activity and follow-up. New symptoms should be assessed separately rather than waiting for a routine health check.
This information supports a discussion with your doctor. Suitability, availability and any specialist referral should be confirmed with the hospital. Individual care plans and outcomes vary.
