Your health is one of your most valuable assets, and regular health checks can help you stay in control. Whether you’re looking for peace of mind or a detailed health assessment, a Well Person Health Check at All Health Matters in Canterbury could be the right choice for you.


Our Bronze, Silver, and Gold Well Person Health Checks cover a range of essential tests, with the Gold package including the opportunity for cancer screening. Here are 10 reasons why booking a health screening in Canterbury could be one of the best decisions you make for your wellbeing.


1. You Haven’t Had a Health Check in a While

If you can’t remember your last check-up, now is the perfect time to book. A Well Person Health Check provides a full picture of your health, helping you understand key markers like blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels.


2. You Want to Detect Health Risks Early

Many conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and high cholesterol, develop gradually without symptoms. Our Bronze, Silver, and Gold Well Person Health Checks help identify risks early, so you can take action before they become serious.


3. You’re Concerned About Cancer Risks

Early detection is key to improving outcomes for many types of cancer. Our Gold Well Person Health Check includes cancer screening opportunities, helping to assess risk factors and detect potential issues at an early stage.

4. You’re Experiencing Unexplained Symptoms

Persistent tiredness, weight changes, digestive issues, or ongoing aches and pains can be signs of underlying health concerns. A health check can help pinpoint potential causes and guide your next steps.


5. You Have a Family History of Health Conditions

If conditions like diabetes, high cholesterol, or cancer run in your family, a Well Person Health Check can assess your personal risk factors and provide tailored advice to help you stay healthy.


6. You Want a General Health MOT

Think of a health screening as a service check for your body. Our Well Person Health Checks assess key aspects of your health, ensuring everything is functioning as it should and giving you peace of mind. Our Health Checks include Well Woman and Well Man elements depending on your needs.


"I found the Well Person Health Screening Gold Package to be a very comprehensive and informative appointment.  It gave me the time and attention to address all the health concerns I had been putting off. I now feel more confident about the direction of my health and lifestyle, and I’m encouraged by the support I’ve received to help me focus my energy in the right areas.  It also helped to have supporting documentation when I visited my NHS GP for further tests, as it provided a clear overview of my health and the steps already taken, making it easier to continue in the right direction." - Recent Gold Well Person Health Check Patient

7. You’re Making Lifestyle Changes and Want a Baseline

Starting a new exercise plan, improving your diet, or quitting smoking? A health check provides a starting point, helping you measure progress and stay motivated towards your health goals.


8. You Have Stress or Sleep Issues

Stress and poor sleep can have a serious impact on your health, from raising your blood pressure to increasing your risk of long-term conditions. A Well Person Health Check can assess your overall wellbeing and provide recommendations to help.


9. You’re Approaching a Milestone Birthday

As we age, our health needs change. A Well Person Health Check at 40, 50, or beyond can help you understand what’s happening in your body and what steps to take for long-term health.


10. You Simply Want Peace of Mind

Sometimes, the best reason for a health screening appointment is reassurance. Knowing that your health is in good shape—or catching potential issues early—can help you feel more confident and in control.
