Short answer: worth it if you want an hour with a doctor and physical checks, less so if you want a detailed blood picture. Nuffield Health's assessments range from the Lifestyle Health Assessment (£399, one hour with a physiologist) to the 360+ (£1,129, three hours including an hour with a doctor, a resting ECG and a dynamic cardiovascular test). The blood tests are standard ones: cholesterol, blood glucose, a full blood count and a biochemistry profile for liver and kidney function, with thyroid and prostate tests added from age 50.

You book an assessment online or by phone and attend a Nuffield Health centre or gym. The 360 and 360+ combine an hour with a doctor, time with a physiologist, physical measurements, a resting ECG, a cardiovascular risk score and blood and urine tests. The 360+ adds a dynamic cardiovascular test (an exercise ECG or VO2 max) and an extra hour with the physiologist. Women's and men's examinations are included where appropriate.
Results available on the day are talked through with you before you leave. A written, personalised report follows about 10 working days later, viewable through Nuffield's Trium platform, and you get a free 30-day gym pass.

Prices as displayed on nuffieldhealth.com on 6 November 2026. Nuffield offers 0% finance over 6 or 12 months through Chrysalis Finance, subject to status, and assessments are often discounted through employers and insurers.
A full hour with a doctor. The 360, 360+ and Female assessments include an hour with a Nuffield Health doctor, which no blood-test-only provider offers. If you have symptoms or worries you want to talk through in person, that matters.
Physical checks and heart tests. A resting ECG is included in the 360 and 360+, and the 360+ adds a dynamic cardiovascular test, an exercise ECG or VO2 max, plus a functional movement assessment.
Results talked through on the day. Whatever is available on the day is discussed face to face, with a written report about 10 working days later.
Examinations included. Cervical smear, breast and pelvic examinations for women and a testicular examination for men are part of the 360 and 360+ where appropriate.
Onward referral and a gym pass. Nuffield can refer you on privately or through the NHS, and every assessment comes with a free 30-day gym pass.
Standard blood tests only. The blood work is cholesterol, glucose, a full blood count and a liver and kidney profile, with thyroid and prostate tests only from age 50. We found no mention of ApoB, Lp(a), fasting insulin, hs-CRP, vitamin D, ferritin, B12, hormones or thyroid antibodies.
Expensive for the blood work you get. At £869 to £1,129 you are mainly paying for clinician time and physical checks. If what you want is a detailed blood picture, a blood-test provider gives far more markers for less.
Slower written report. The written report takes about 10 working days after the appointment.
Age-gated tests. Thyroid and prostate tests are only included from 50, and the bowel cancer test from 45, so younger people get a narrower panel for the same price.

You want an hour with a doctor and a physical examination, not just blood results. You want an ECG or an exercise heart test. You have symptoms or worries you'd rather talk through in person. Your employer or insurer covers or discounts the cost.
Your main goal is a detailed blood picture: you'd pay £869 or more for a handful of standard blood tests. You want advanced markers such as ApoB, Lp(a), fasting insulin, hormones or vitamins included as standard.
A blood test is a snapshot of the markers it measures, on the day it was taken. It can show patterns worth acting on, such as raised LDL cholesterol, low ferritin or an HbA1c drifting upwards, and repeat tests can show whether a change is working. It can't rule out conditions it doesn't measure, it doesn't replace an examination, and one slightly abnormal value is often explained by hydration, recent exercise, illness or the time of day.
Whichever provider you use, take symptoms seriously in their own right. Chest pain, unexplained weight loss, blood in your stools or urine, or a result your report flags as needing prompt attention should go to your GP (or NHS 111, or 999 in an emergency).
We make one of the alternatives, so weigh this accordingly. TrueVitals Ultimate is one venous test of 140 biomarkers (139 for women) for £399 including the blood draw at one of 103 partner clinics, or £29 extra for a home or office visit. The sample goes to Nationwide Pathology (UKAS-accredited) and you get a clinician-reviewed report within 4 working days of the lab receiving it. An AI model reads every result together with your own lifestyle quiz to find patterns across systems, code checks every value against the lab's own result, and a clinician reviews the report before you see it. It includes PhenoAge biological age, ApoB, Lp(a), fasting insulin with HOMA-IR, cortisol, full thyroid with antibodies, cystatin C, coeliac screening and tumour markers (with PSA for men). No subscription: pay once and test when you like. Klarna and Clearpay are available at checkout.
TrueVitals isn't the right choice if you want a face-to-face consultation with a doctor or a physical examination (we don't offer consultations; Nuffield Health does), you want an ECG or exercise test, or you'd rather book your slot online: with us you book by phone after paying, and the referral never expires.
TrueVitals is a UK blood testing company; we compare ourselves too. We reviewed Nuffield Health using only what nuffieldhealth.com showed on 6 November 2026; we did not buy a test from Nuffield Health for this review. Where the site didn't state something clearly, we left it out or said so. Prices and menus change, so check before you buy. We have led with Nuffield Health's strengths and said plainly where TrueVitals is not the better choice. Written by James Smillie; reviewed by the TrueVitals clinical review team.
