## What is an annual medical?
An annual medical is a comprehensive health check with a private GP. It reviews your health history, lifestyle and risk factors, includes an examination and often a set of tests — giving you a clear picture of your health and anything worth acting on.
- A comprehensive, planned appointment
- Review of history, lifestyle and risks
- Physical examination
