Coyne Medical vs Preventicum
Which approach to advanced health screening is right for you?
Coyne Medical and Preventicum both offer comprehensive private health assessments in London, combining doctor-led care with advanced testing and imaging.
If you are looking for a Preventicum alternative in London, the key difference is not simply which tests are included, but how your health is managed after the assessment.
Preventicum is designed around an intensive health assessment. Coyne's Complete and Ultimate Health Programmes combine advanced screening with a personal doctor who stays involved throughout the year and helps you act on what we find.
Two comprehensive approaches to preventive health
This is not a comparison between comprehensive screening and a simple blood test. Both clinics offer sophisticated doctor-led assessment. The difference is largely in how the care is structured, which tests are included and how your health is managed after the screening day.

Preventicum offers a genuinely comprehensive assessment
Preventicum offers an extensive doctor-led assessment combining advanced imaging, cardiovascular testing, blood analysis, mole assessment and established cancer screening.
Much of the testing is brought together into one intensive assessment, with results reviewed as part of the process.
If what you want is a broad and highly comprehensive health assessment concentrated into one experience, that may suit you very well.
What happens after you know the result?
For us, finding risk is only the first step.
The difference is what happens after the results
A comprehensive health assessment can identify raised blood pressure, high ApoB, elevated Lp(a), insulin resistance, visceral fat, poor cardiovascular fitness or another risk factor.
The important question is what happens next.
We can track it over time, review lifestyle factors and start or adjust treatment where appropriate.
We agree targets for markers such as LDL and ApoB, treat where appropriate and repeat testing to see whether the plan is working.
Nutrition, weight, exercise and medication can be reviewed together, with progress tracked rather than simply recorded once.
Your VO₂ max result helps us build an individual exercise prescription and gives us something meaningful to improve over time.
We see screening as the start of treatment and prevention, not the endpoint.
More than a health screen. A personal doctor for your health.
With the Coyne Complete and Ultimate Health Programmes, your screening is the beginning of a year-long relationship with your personal doctor.
- One doctor brings your results together
- Direct email access between scheduled reviews
- Scheduled quarterly health check-ins throughout the year
- Your prevention plan reviewed as your health changes
- Repeat testing arranged where it changes management
- Medication started or adjusted where appropriate
- Further investigations and specialist referrals coordinated when needed
If something needs investigating, treating or monitoring, we stay involved.
Additional face-to-face, video or telephone consultations can be booked with your personal doctor during the year at our standard consultation fee.
The Ultimate Health Programme looks beyond today's scans
Our Ultimate Health Programme adds areas of risk that cannot necessarily be identified through routine blood tests or imaging alone.
Inherited cancer risk
Genetic testing for inherited variants associated with cancers including breast, ovarian, bowel, prostate and pancreatic cancer.
Pharmacogenomics
Genetic information that may help inform how you respond to commonly prescribed medicines now and in the future.
Inflammation & oral health
Oral health assessment and Oral Genome testing considered alongside inflammatory, cardiovascular and metabolic health.
Different ways of measuring VO₂ max
Preventicum includes VO₂ max assessment using Seismofit, which estimates VO₂ max without a conventional exercise test.
Coyne Complete and Ultimate use laboratory exercise VO₂ max testing.
For us, the point is not simply to produce a fitness number. We use the result to help shape practical exercise advice and consider it alongside cardiovascular risk, body composition and metabolic health.
Different approaches to mole assessment
Preventicum includes a consultant dermatologist mole assessment.
At Coyne, we assess your individual melanoma and skin cancer risk and examine concerns clinically. Where someone is higher risk or a lesion needs more detailed assessment, we can arrange specialist digital mole mapping with a consultant dermatologist.
The dermatologist can then provide the appropriate plan, whether that is reassurance, monitoring, short-term review, biopsy or removal.

Frequently asked questions
Is Coyne Medical more comprehensive than Preventicum?
Not in every area. The two clinics have different strengths. Preventicum offers an extensive health assessment with sophisticated imaging and specialist testing. Coyne's Complete and Ultimate Health Programmes combine advanced screening with a structured year of personal-doctor care. Ultimate also includes inherited cancer genetics, pharmacogenomics and oral health testing.
Does Preventicum provide follow-up if something abnormal is found?
Yes. Preventicum provides further management and specialist referral where clinically relevant. The difference at Coyne is that Complete and Ultimate include planned ongoing care with your personal doctor, direct email access and scheduled quarterly health check-ins throughout the year.
Which Coyne programme is closest to Preventicum?
The Complete Health Programme is the closest comparison if your priority is advanced assessment of your current health using imaging, body composition, cardiovascular assessment and fitness testing. Ultimate adds inherited cancer risk, pharmacogenomics and oral health.
Why does ongoing care matter after a health screen?
Many screening findings are not problems solved by another scan. Raised blood pressure, high cholesterol or ApoB, insulin resistance, low fitness and excess visceral fat often need changes made over months. Follow-up lets us make those changes, monitor the response and adjust the plan.
Can I speak to a doctor before choosing a programme?
Yes. You can book a 30-minute Discovery Call with a Coyne Medical doctor to discuss your health, family history and what you want from screening. The £250 fee is credited against your screening if you proceed within 12 months.
Screening should be the beginning, not the end.
Understand your health, decide what needs changing and have a doctor who stays involved while you change it.
