About us
Dedicated health screening.
Part of Medical Express Clinic.
The Health Screening Clinic is the dedicated health screening service of Medical Express Clinic, a private doctors' clinic that has practised at 117a Harley Street since 1984. We do one thing: thorough, doctor-led health assessments that find problems early, while they are still easy to treat.
The doctors who examine you are experts in general health. They have been carrying out these assessments for years, they look at the whole person rather than a single organ, and they know the difference between a result that needs action and one that simply needs watching.

One clinic, one address
What being part of Medical Express Clinic means for you
Medical Express Clinic is a private GP and specialist practice that has cared for patients on Harley Street for over four decades. The Health Screening Clinic is its screening arm: the same doctors, the same building, the same standards, with the whole practice behind every result.
The Health Screening Clinic is the Harley Street screening service of Medical Express Clinic and is not connected to any other clinic using a similar name.
Doctors, not a testing counter
Your screening is examined and reviewed by a practising doctor from an established clinic, not a nurse-only blood draw with a report in the post.
Follow-up under the same roof
If something needs a closer look, you are referred to a cardiologist, gynaecologist or physician who consults at this address, without starting again elsewhere.
A GP for the year
Advanced, Elite and Ultimate MOTs include four private GP consultations across a calendar year, for any health issue, not just your results.
Continuity
Your records stay with one practice. Come back next year and the doctor can compare your results, not just read them.
Why experience matters
Experts in general health, doing this for years
Anyone can run the tests. The skill is in reading them: knowing what a borderline result means for someone of your age and history, and what should happen next. Our doctors have made that call thousands of times, on Harley Street, over many years, and it is the reason a screening here is more than a set of numbers.
Our clinical lead, Dr Mohammad Bakhtiar, has seen patients at this address for over twenty years. Dr Penelope Sheehan leads on women's health and menopause. Prof Arshad Rather brings a consultant physician's eye to complex and later-life medicine. Between them they focus on the conditions that matter most: heart disease, diabetes, cancer and stroke.
Experience changes what a screening finds. It means recognising the pattern behind a borderline result, knowing when to refer and when to reassure, and explaining it all in plain English at your results review.
