Today there is a keen focus on longevity, with millions being spent on studying how we can extend life. However, perhaps even more important is ensuring we are in the best of health for however many years we have left.
Echelon Health was established 15 years ago in Harley Street with the aim of saving lives through early detection of disease. It brings together 30 years of clinical expertise, the most advanced imaging technology and unparalleled client service to offer some of the world’s leading health assessments available today. Its preventative health assessments detect disease at its earliest stage (usually before any symptoms) to maximise the chances of effective treatment. They allow its clients to establish a baseline for the condition of their health and recommend an appropriate onward lifestyle plan.
Top-of-the-range tech
To enable this quality of service, it uses the best technology. Its 3T MRI scanner and Aquilion One Prism CT scanner are the most advanced scanners currently in use worldwide. They are able to capture tumours as small as 1–2mm, and Echelon’s Platinum Assessment can detect up to 92 percent and 95 percent of preventable causes of death among men and women respectively.
The key to providing the best service is to have access to the best specialists and partners
Echelon Health is unique in recognising that no single scanner can assess all diseases. A combination of the most advanced MRI, CT and ultrasound technology, alongside comprehensive blood tests such as tumour markers, means every client receives the most comprehensive results currently available.
Echelon prides itself on excellence in customer care, prioritising safety, wellbeing and comfort. Your health assessment will be carried out by some of the highest trained radiographers in the country. The resulting high-quality images are interpreted by a select group of internationally renowned specialist radiologists. The assessment of all blood tests and imaging reports, as well as your personal consultation at the end of the process, will be done by one of the finest physicians consulting in Harley Street today. Should anything be found during your health check that requires further investigation, Echelon has a network of pre-eminent specialists and consultants. If necessary, it will provide rapid referral to a relevant specialist. Modern medicine is about specialism. Echelon Health recognises that the key to providing the best service is to have access to the best specialists and partners.
Independently verified
What sets Echelon Health apart is that their assessments are benchmarked not only against the top providers in the UK but also globally. “The service they are providing at present is, in my opinion, the best that can be achieved in current practice with existing knowledge,” said Dr David Wilson, Past President, British Institute of Radiology.
Success stories fuel the company’s passion. One client was diagnosed by Echelon Health with a cerebral arteriovenous fistula in his brain. This fistula was causing him no symptoms and would have been missed in a normal medical check-up. Post diagnosis, the client was immediately referred by Echelon Health to one of the premier specialists in the country and underwent a successful procedure a few days later.
Other clients include the British fashion designer Amanda Wakeley OBE, who says: “The combination of losing a seemingly healthy sibling to a brain tumour, a milestone birthday and 30 plus years of a highly stressful career were the catalysts for me in signing up for the Echelon Platinum Health Assessment.
“The follow-up consultation was reassuring but also revealed a couple of issues that my regular health checks would not have uncovered, and if left untreated would possibly have had an impact on my life at a later date. I feel encouraged by this health MOT, relieved to be aware of where my body is at and reminded to never be complacent or take my health for granted.”
