You’ll receive a clear explanation of your results based on NHS guidelines, including the normal cholesterol range and whether action is required.
Where appropriate, we’ll offer advice on lifestyle improvements, diet, and next steps. If your results fall outside expected limits, we’ll support you in contacting your GP for further investigation or treatment.
We also offer guidance on how to monitor your cholesterol at home and support in selecting the right home cholesterol monitor if needed. Our aim is to make heart health easier to manage, whether it’s your first check or part of ongoing care.
All cholesterol testing at Imaan Healthcare is delivered in line with national standards and documented for your ongoing care, with your consent.
