Obesity (Lipid Profile) Health Check-Up
Obesity & Lipid Profile Health Packages are designed to provide a focused assessment of weight-related health risks and metabolic function. These checks help to detect issues such as high cholesterol, insulin resistance, fatty liver, or other obesity-related complications at an early stage. Each package combines advanced testing, medical consultation, and optional imaging to give you clear insights into your metabolic and cardiovascular health.
Lipid Profile & Blood Tests
Comprehensive blood tests evaluate cholesterol (HDL, LDL), triglycerides, liver function, blood sugar (HbA1c), and other metabolic markers. These tests help identify cardiovascular risks, diabetes, and obesity-related complications.
GP Consultation
You will have a personalised consultation with our experienced GP to discuss your weight, lifestyle, medical history, and concerns. Your GP will review your blood test results and any additional scans, then provide a tailored care plan which may include lifestyle advice, weight management strategies, medication, or referral to a specialist if required.
UltrasoundÂ
An abdominal ultrasound may be recommended to assess for fatty liver, gallstones, or other obesity-related complications. This is a safe, accurate, and non-invasive test.

Understanding Obesity and Lipid Health
Obesity is a complex health condition that significantly increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, and certain cancers. One of the key ways to assess obesity-related risks is through a lipid profile, a blood test that measures cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Monitoring these markers provides essential insight into cardiovascular and metabolic health.
Common Obesity-Related Health Concerns
High cholesterol (hyperlipidaemia): Raised LDL (“bad cholesterol”) and triglycerides increase the risk of blocked arteries.
Low HDL (“good cholesterol”): Insufficient HDL reduces the body’s ability to clear excess cholesterol.
Metabolic syndrome: A combination of obesity, high blood pressure, raised blood sugar, and abnormal lipids.
Type 2 diabetes: Strongly linked to obesity and abnormal fat metabolism.
Fatty liver disease (NAFLD): Fat build-up in the liver, often associated with obesity and high cholesterol.
Cardiovascular disease: Heart attack, stroke, and hypertension risk are all elevated in obesity.
Symptoms and Signs to Look Out For
âś… Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight
âś… Fatigue, low energy, or shortness of breath with activity
âś… Increased waist circumference or central obesity
âś… History of high blood pressure, diabetes, or fatty liver
âś… Family history of heart disease, high cholesterol, or obesity-related conditions
Why Early Assessment Matters
Obesity and abnormal lipid levels often cause no symptoms until complications develop. Early detection through a Lipid Profile blood test, combined with GP consultation and lifestyle assessment, can:
Identify high cholesterol, triglycerides, or other metabolic risks early
Prevent serious complications such as heart disease, diabetes, or stroke
Guide personalised lifestyle advice, nutrition support, or medical treatment
Provide reassurance and a clear plan for long-term health improvement

Thank you.Posted on Patrick RidleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I got into the practice an hr early but was surprised that they could fit me in for my Ultra Sound. The staff were very friendly and I felt at ease due to being nervous about the whole situation. The Ultra Sound took about 15 mins it was thoroughly and surprisingly quick. After a year waiting for this i was pleased that i had booked with the hospital a good experience and i thank you all. I highly recommend the practice to anyone who is needing an Ultra Sound and surprisingly it was not that expensive.Posted on Jonny LethbridgeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having spent a night in A&E, was told I needed an Ultra Sound but to organise through my GP which would take weeks or months.
