Our Clinic Services
Blood Pressure
This measures how effectively blood is transported to your organs. Systolic pressure (the higher value) fluctuates with mood and stress; and diastolic (the lower value) is fairly stable.
Blood Glucose
This is a measurement of the amount of sugar in your blood. Elevated blood sugar levels can lead to diabetes.
Blood Tests
We can take bloods for you and send them off to the laboratories. This saves you from having to go to a lab for your blood tests.
Cholesterol Screening
Blood cholesterol levels are measured by a small blood sample taken from your finger. The blood is tested for total cholesterol levels and just gives an indication of whether it is necessary to have further full lipoprotein profile completed.
Ear Syringe
Involves syringing warm water into the ear to loosen and remove stubborn wax – chat to the clinic sister on whether this would be something for you.
Discovery Wellness Tests
As part of Discovery’s Vitality, they will cover the costs of the wellness tests out of your hospital benefit, i.e. even if you don’t have a savings plan, they will pay for your wellness tests and you can earn Vitality points. We have partnered with Discovery for all health care checks.
