The invitation
includes four side of facts about stroke and heart disease. The team doesn’t only check for my risk of
heart disease and stroke but check my liver, kidneys, iron levels, metabolism,
muscles, calcium, bone health, energy levels and apparently much more.
It is painless
apart from a blood sample and I will eventually receive a report which I can
show to my GP if I wish. The readings in
my report will be marked green for perfectly normal, Amber means the result is
outside of the expected range, not necessarily anything to worry about but
worth mentioning to your GP and then red is further outside of the normal range
and you may want to contact your GP to go through that reading with them.
The invitation
then goes into detail with what happens at my screening and certain words are
underlined such as Blood Pressure, Blood Test Results, General Health Markers,
Liver Function Test, Kidney Function, Gout, Full Lipid (Cholesterol) Profile,
ECG Test, Biometric Analysis, Standard, Haematology Profile, Prostate Cancer
Test and Ovarian Cancer.
Finally, I can
have all this for just £129 and then they give comparison with BUPA and
Nuffield.
I hate this
kind of post and I know they probably sent the same letter to hundreds of
people in my area. I can ignore it, I
have a good team of professionals looking after me but some people who receive this
are vulnerable and may fell pressurised into taking up the invitation and
spending money they may not have.
Bluecrest have
underlined keywords and to me this is just scaremongering. I would like to know how they choose who they
send this invitation to. I have a
congenital disability and other health issues my friend is healthy and we live
at the same address and yet she has not received one which makes me wonder if
they are just choosing people who already have health concerns. I will be contacting them put just wanted to
warn people they are in the area.
