Starting GLP-1 medication can feel reassuring and uncertain at the same time. Weight may change quickly, appetite can shift, and you may want to know what is happening beneath the surface, not just on the scales.
The GLP-1 Advanced Nurse Health Check is a comprehensive home blood test designed for people using GLP-1 treatments such as semaglutide or tirzepatide who want a more detailed view of their health. It measures biomarkers linked to cholesterol and cardiovascular risk, liver and kidney function, diabetes risk (HbA1c), full blood count, vitamin and mineral status, thyroid function, and iron levels.
A nurse visits your home to collect the blood sample, so you can monitor your health without arranging a clinic appointment. If you want clearer, clinical-grade insight to support ongoing GLP-1 monitoring, this check is a practical next step.
This test includes our Home Nurse Visit (Telephone Booking) service at no additional charge!

Cholesterol is a fatty substance known as a lipid and is vital for the normal functioning of the body. It's mainly made by the liver, but can also be found in some foods.
Having a high cholesterol level, associated with a high amount of fats in your blood (hyperlipidaemia) can be detrimental to your health. There is evidence that having high cholesterol increases your risk from cardiovascular diseases and associated death. It's also important to consider the ratio of 'Good' and 'Bad' cholesterol.
