Frequently asked question

Is the Health MOT a medical assessment?

The name is used for two different things. SHIFT Health describes a home blood-test route; the older browser questionnaire is educational decision support. Neither a questionnaire nor a single blood test can diagnose every condition or establish treatment suitability.

Check which route you mean

The main Health MOT link now leads to the SHIFT Health home blood-test information page. Check its availability notice and the actual clinical service arrangements before making assumptions about ordering, results or follow-up. The legacy browser questionnaire has not become an account-backed clinical assessment.

Use professional interpretation

Symptoms, medical history and appropriate measurements matter together. The older questionnaire produces prompts, not a validated health score or a personal disease-risk estimate. Take concerning symptoms to the appropriate healthcare professional regardless of any online result.
