As we inch towards a post-Covid age (albeit with definite setbacks) and we all work to re-calibrate and reassess where we are, attention to health has never been more front of mind.

Preventative healthcare is certainly on the rise, and after a year of virtual medical appointments, many are seeking in-depth information about the state of their wellbeing. Taking control of one’s health is something very much in demand. And within the luxury sector in particular, comprehensive health checks are increasingly sought after.

Widely considered to be the most advanced health check, Echelon Health is home to the most advanced medical screening equipment and a renowned team of experts. It delivers a comprehensive health assessment; the imaging is so accurate that you wouldn’t need another for four years. Proactive, predictive and utterly personalised, their medical assessments can detect up to 92% of diseases in men and 96% in women.

The technology is impressive. Echelon’s CT and MRI technology is among the most advanced in the world, and the detailed microscopic detection of early signs of cancers and tumours is awe-inspiring. While there are naturally others offering similar services, what sets Echelon apart is their use of more equipment—including the latest CT, 3TMRI and ultrasound scanners, as well as detailed blood tests which allow for microscopic systemic detail to flag early signs of cancers and tumours.

New for this summer, Echelon Optimum has partnered with London’s luxury 5-star Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Their Echelon Optimum package includes a comprehensive full-body medical scan, a wide-ranging set of diagnostic tests, a driver to and from your home, and a 2-night restful stay at one of the city’s most iconic hotels. The new assessment covers all health screenings, along with a two-night stay as a guest in the iconic hotel. Clients are then chauffeured to Harley Street for a full day of back-to-back assessments and tests. After a 12-hour fast, they will enjoy lunch under the care and supervision of their personal client liaison manager.

When the day at Echelon Health is over, clients are taken back to the hotel, where they can relax in their luxurious suite. They also receive vouchers to spend at the Mandarin Oriental, which can be used on spa treatments, in-room dining or whatever they wish as part of the service. Echelon Optimum clients can enjoy a spa treatment of their choice from the hotel’s extensive menu of relaxing treatments. In the morning, the client will be chauffeured back home. Within two weeks, Echelon Health Director Dr Paul Jenkins will follow up personally with a detailed health analysis and healthcare suggestions for the future. If treatment is required, Dr Jenkins will refer the client to his trusted network of Harley Street specialists or their own practitioners.

Practising to the highest and most thorough clinical standards, all state-of-the-art images from the scans are analysed by up to seven hand-selected, brilliant radiologists with 20+ years’ experience in their field. Personal health information is often siloed, but Echelon offers highly specific, advanced, integrated analysis harmonised with curated data.

Costing £14,000 per person or £24,000 for two, the health check is not inexpensive—but it promises information and care that is ultimately priceless.

He remained at Barts for almost 20 years, as well as running the endocrine service at Homerton University Hospital. Within the Medical School, he was Dean for Pre-Registration Doctors and led an active research group into the interactions between hormones and cancer. He has published more than 80 peer-reviewed scientific papers in this field, as well as writing several books and textbook chapters, and was awarded numerous academic grants for his research. During his clinical career, he has been passionate about the benefits of early disease detection and the role that modern imaging can play in healthcare. Over 15 years ago, he established the European Scanning Centre in Harley Street and developed this into the UK’s leading independent diagnostic imaging company. A few years ago, to complement ESC, he established Echelon Health. This enables him to combine his 30 years of clinical practice with state-of-the-art imaging to provide world-class preventive health assessments. He has enormous experience treating patients with post-viral fatigue syndrome, having managed several hundred patients with this condition—something which shares many features with Long Covid.
