About Us

Welcome to Harborough-Health where we specialise in the delivery of health checks. Because we are private we offer appointments a lot quicker than the NHS, with longer and more personalised appointments and quicker results. We are open to everyone, not just patients affiliated to Market Harborough Medical Centre.

Health assessments are a useful way to monitor your health and wellbeing, by finding out more about your health you can make lasting changes to your lifestyle, monitor existing disease or for some people, just to get peace of mind. 

 

Why Choose Harborough-Health?

We offer a range of tests and investigations as part of our full health assessments as well as individual requests or individual bloods or tests. Our delivery format is simple for the general public to follow and leads the way in comprehensive health check screening. Here are a few things which we offer that can make your experience easier:

  • Our health checks are set over a 45-60minute appointment, where the first stage is to have a pre-discussion about your health, medical history and wishes.
  • For the main section of the health check you see a highly trained clinician face-to-face, and you have a full set of bloods and investigations looking at different parts of your health. Unlike some providers this is done by a clinician and not a finger prick test at home, which can have inaccurate results. 
  • We understand your needs or certain requests for a certain tests or investigations, and may be able to facilitate this separate to the health check plans if you ask.
  • After your health check, the results usually take 1-3 days to come back, and will be discussed in detail with you. You will receive a personalised report summarising any key findings, as well as a breakdown of the tests you had. 
  • We are harmoniously placed in the heart of the town, conveniently based inside Market Harborough Pharmacy next to the Market Harborough Medical Centre. We also work at the weekend making it easier for you to attend.
