Cancer screening and checks: where to start
You might want reassurance about your cancer risk, a broader picture of your health, or advice about symptoms. Whatever brings you here, we'll help you find the right care.
What can we help with?
I’d like a general health check
I want to get a broader picture of my health, including cancer risk.
Cancer screening
Best for people without symptoms who want reassurance about their cancer risk.
Cancer screening can help you understand your risk of developing certain cancers. You may have a family history of cancer, haven't had recent checks, or want more clarity about your health.
Each screening is designed for different needs and includes time with a GP to discuss your health, lifestyle and family history. Screening can help spot potential signs of cancer early, when treatment is often easier and more effective.

How cancer screening works
Book online
You can book your cancer screening online for a date and time that works for you, at your local Bupa Health Centre.
Fill in your questionnaire
We’ll send you a questionnaire to complete. This is to understand your medical history and decide what tests will be most relevant.
Get screened
Your 30-minute screening includes tests tailored to you, based on your age and clinical guidance, plus time to talk through any concerns with a doctor.
Get your results
Depending on your examination or test results, we can organise a private referral. Or write to your NHS GP (with your consent) advising an NHS referral.
Health assessment
Best for people who want a broader picture of their overall health.
Our health assessments look at more than cancer risk. Depending on the assessment you choose, they can include checks for heart health, diabetes risk and fitness, alongside cancer screening.
