Your health is your greatest asset, we help you understand it.
Let us help empower you on your personalised healthcare journey
There are a large number of increasingly more complex health and wellness tests directly available to us these days. It is not surprising that both the general public as well as Legal & Healthcare Professionals alike are cautious about the suitability of many of these tests and exactly what information they provide.
Questions we are commonly asked include; Which test is most appropriate for my particular needs? Where it is being processed – in the UK or sent overseas? Is the lab reputable and suitably qualified to perform/offer the test? Will I be able to understand the report and will my Dr accept it. Perhaps most importantly, is it scientifically and clinically approved?
With over 20 years’ experience in DNA testing and molecular diagnostics the FGIH is delighted to offer a Specialised Support Service through our expert Consultants to assist you in selecting, and understanding DNA and health & wellness tests that can have a direct and meaningful impact on your wellbeing now and into the future.
