What is a Full Health MOT?
Whether you're looking for reassurance, want to identify health concerns early, or have symptoms you'd like investigated, a Full Health MOT provides a personalised assessment of your overall health.
A Full Health MOT is a comprehensive assessment designed to identify potential health concerns, assess future health risks, and provide a clearer understanding of your overall wellbeing. Some people book a Health MOT because of a family history of illness, while others want reassurance or advice about ongoing symptoms.
Following a consultation, Dr Faizal Secretary recommends the investigations most appropriate for your individual circumstances. Where clinically appropriate, your assessment may include blood tests, blood pressure monitoring, ECGs, or referral for further investigations. The aim is to ensure you receive the right tests and understand exactly what your results mean.

What does a Full Health MOT include?
Every Health MOT begins with a detailed consultation to understand your medical history, symptoms, lifestyle, and any risk factors. Depending on your assessment, it may include:
Your Blood Tests
Blood tests can assess cholesterol, diabetes, liver and kidney function, thyroid health, vitamin deficiencies, iron levels, and other important health markers.
Your Cardiovascular Assessment
This may include blood pressure measurement, BMI, cardiovascular risk assessment, and an ECG where clinically appropriate.
Your Lifestyle Review
Your consultation also includes a discussion about your diet, exercise, sleep, smoking, alcohol intake, and other lifestyle factors that may affect your long-term health.
Your Further Investigations
If required, Dr Faizal Secretary can arrange additional diagnostic investigations, including imaging referrals or specialist assessments.
Investigations are recommended according to your individual health needs rather than a fixed package.
Who should consider a Full Health MOT?
A Full Health MOT may be beneficial if you:
- Want a general check of your overall health
- Have a family history of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, or other long-term conditions
- Have ongoing symptoms such as fatigue, low energy, or unexplained weight changes
- Have concerns about your blood pressure, cholesterol, or diabetes risk
- Want to monitor your health as you get older
- Would like reassurance about your current health
- Prefer a proactive approach to identifying potential health concerns early

Private Health MOT vs NHS Health Check
Both NHS Health Checks and private Health MOTs aim to identify potential health risks, but they differ in how they're delivered.
| Private Health MOT | NHS Health Check |
|---|---|
| Available to adults of any age | Usually offered to eligible adults aged 40–74 |
| Same-day or next-day appointments often available | Availability varies depending on your GP practice |
| Investigations tailored to your medical history and symptoms | Standard NHS assessment following set criteria |
| Longer GP consultation with Dr Faizal Secretary | Consultation format may vary |
| Results explained in detail with personalised advice | Follow-up depends on individual NHS services |
Many patients continue to use both NHS and private healthcare. A private Health MOT offers quicker access, personalised investigations, and continuity of care without affecting your NHS GP registration.
What happens after your results?
Dr Faizal Secretary will explain your results clearly and answer any questions you may have. Depending on the findings, your personalised plan may include:
- Reassurance
- Lifestyle advice
- Medication where appropriate
- Further investigations
- Specialist referral if needed
You'll leave your appointment with a clear understanding of your results and any recommended next steps. Where further assessment is appropriate, a specialist referral can be arranged.
