What Medichecks does

Medichecks is a UK-based digital diagnostics company founded in 2001 as the country's first direct-to-consumer blood testing service. It sells a broad catalogue of at-home and clinic-based blood tests across categories including women's health, men's health, fertility, thyroid, sports performance, cardiovascular health, nutrition, allergies, and chronic-condition monitoring. Tests can be self-collected via finger-prick at home, via venous draw at one of 392+ UK partner clinics (including Superdrug Nurse Clinics and Ultrasound Direct), or via home nurse visits; samples are processed by three accredited third-party laboratories (Eurofins, Inuvi, and The Doctors Laboratory) and reviewed by the company's in-house clinical team before being delivered through the MyMedichecks patient portal with personalised doctor commentary.

The core technology stack combines an e-commerce and content platform (medichecks.com), a results portal (MyMedichecks), and integrations with partner labs and clinic networks. Product portfolio spans from £19 single-biomarker tests to £249 comprehensive panels (Optimal Health, 59 biomarkers). The company has accumulated over 500,000 test results and 200,000 customers over 25 years, and operates an asset-light model that outsources laboratory processing.

Monetisation is direct-to-consumer, pay-as-you-go, with no disclosed subscription or enterprise contracts. Recent strategic activity — the 2025 acquisition of Leger Clinic and the February 2026 acquisition of My Menopause Centre — signals a pivot from pure DTC testing toward an integrated digital-plus-clinics hormone health platform, anchored by two CQC Outstanding-rated clinics. The company is privately held, founder-led (Helen Marsden, co-founder; CEO Alun Hindle), with 51-100 employees headquartered in Nottingham, UK, and serves a UK-only customer base with no disclosed geographic expansion plans.
