Early Detection - Mosaic Medical

Services

Catch future health risks before they become problems

Modern medicine is very good at reacting to disease once it appears. We believe it should also be exceptional at preventing it.

Our Early Detection Service is designed to uncover hidden health risks before symptoms develop, allowing you to take early, informed action to protect your long-term health, vitality, and healthspan.

Why early detection matters

Direct-to-consumer testing has transformed access to health data, particularly blood tests. These can be extremely helpful — provided the right markers are being measured and you feel confident interpreting the results.

What’s often missing is:

As a medical practice, we go beyond basic screening. We focus on identifying future risk and early dysfunction — not simply diagnosing disease once it is established.

What’s included in the Early Detection Service

Comprehensive clinical blood testing

Your assessment includes a broad and in-depth panel designed to identify early risk across multiple body systems, including investigations not typically available direct-to-consumer.

Cardiovascular risk (advanced lipid testing)

Cholesterol profile
Apolipoprotein B (ApoB)
Lipoprotein(a)
Lp-PLA2 — a cutting-edge marker indicating inflammation of the vascular endothelium

Together, these provide a far more accurate and nuanced assessment of cardiac risk than cholesterol alone.

Thyroid health

Full thyroid panel
Thyroid antibodies

This allows early identification of autoimmune or functional thyroid issues long before they would usually be detected.

Blood health & anaemia assessment

Full blood count (white and red blood cells)
Iron studies
Assessment of anaemia and contributing causes

Inflammation & fatty acid balance

Omega-3 Index to assess inflammatory balance and anti-inflammatory capacity

Nutritional status

Key vitamin and nutrient levels

Liver & kidney health

Liver function testing (toxicity and metabolic load)
Renal function testing

Cancer risk markers

PSA (prostate-specific antigen) for men
CA-125 for ovarian risk in women

This assessment includes a large number of markers. Interpretation is critical — results become truly valuable when you understand what they mean for you and what to do next.

Your personalised clinical assessment

Pre-consultation health questionnaire

Before your appointment, you’ll complete a detailed health questionnaire covering:

This ensures your results are interpreted in context, rather than in isolation.

60-minute virtual doctor consultation

All testing is followed by a one-hour virtual appointment with a Mosaic Medical doctor.

During this consultation, your results are:

We don’t believe in waiting until results are borderline or abnormal. That isn’t preventative care.

Your personalised report & actionable plan

Following your consultation, you’ll receive a comprehensive written report that cuts through the vast amount of health information now available and focuses on what will genuinely influence your outcomes.

Your personalised action plan may include:

This is about clarity, focus, and meaningful change — not information overload.

Advanced stool testing (MetaXplore)

A practitioner-only, metagenomic stool test — the most advanced available in the UK.

Assesses:

Full gut microbiome composition
Stool biochemistry and digestive function
Inflammatory bowel disease risk
Colon cancer risk

This test is not available direct-to-consumer and offers unparalleled insight into gut-driven inflammation and disease risk.

Hormone (DUTCH) testing

Suitable for:

Women in their reproductive years
Women using HRT
Men with possible testosterone imbalance

Provides detailed insight into hormone production, metabolism, and stress hormone patterns.

Genetic testing (once-only)

A cheek-swab test analysing genes involved in:

Nutrient requirements
Energy regulation and metabolism
Appetite control
Sugar and fat metabolism
Cholesterol and bile pathways
Mitochondrial function
Inflammation, longevity, and healthspan

Genetic testing only needs to be performed once and can inform highly personalised, long-term prevention strategies.

Additional add-ons

Early cancer detection using sensitive pre-symptomatic markers
Oral microbiome testing (recommended alongside stool testing)

Selecting multiple add-ons will require additional consultation time to allow for thorough interpretation and planning.

How often should testing be repeated?

You can continue working with the same doctor over time, allowing us to track trends, assess progress, and refine your plan as your health evolves.

How to get started

You have two simple options:

If you’re unsure, we often recommend starting with the core blood testing and using your consultation to decide on further investigations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can’t I get this through the NHS?

The NHS provides excellent care, but standard panels do not include advanced lipid testing, in-depth hormonal profiling, microbiome analysis, or genetic screening.

Our long-term goal is to support the integration of proactive, preventative medicine into the NHS. Our team is actively working towards this — but change takes time. In the meantime, we aim to demonstrate that early detection reduces future health issues.

How quickly will I get results?

Blood tests: typically within 1–2 weeks
Stool testing: up to 4 weeks

If stool testing is included, your consultation will be scheduled at least 4 weeks after sending your sample. You’ll need to stop probiotics for 2 weeks beforehand, so the full process may take up to 6 weeks.

What if I need more than one consultation?

Your initial service includes testing and a full consultation. Follow-ups for optional add-on tests are booked separately if required. Your doctor will advise, or our admin team can help guide you.

Can I pay per test?

Yes. While the Early Detection Service offers the best value, all advanced tests are available individually, with guidance on relevance and timing from your doctor.

Will my health insurance cover this?

Not currently. We are working towards insurance recognition, but preventative and early detection medicine takes time to be adopted.

What if I need medication?

All Mosaic Medical clinicians are GMC-registered doctors and can prescribe where appropriate. We will always communicate with your GP to ensure your NHS records remain up to date, and prescriptions can be transferred to your GP if preferred.

What makes the stool test so advanced?

Our MetaXplore stool test uses metagenomic sequencing, analysing your entire microbiome rather than selected organisms.

A truly personalised approach to prevention

Early detection isn’t about chasing numbers — it’s about understanding you.

This service combines advanced diagnostics, expert interpretation, and personalised care to help you stay well for longer.
