Can you detect thyroid problems?

In part. The Advanced blood test measures TSH, the key first check of thyroid function. An abnormal TSH can point to an under- or overactive thyroid, including early changes before symptoms appear.

Free T3, free T4 and thyroid antibodies (anti-TPO, anti-thyroglobulin) are not part of the panel. If your TSH comes back abnormal, your GP (huisarts) can order them as a follow-up, for example to diagnose Hashimoto's thyroiditis or Graves' disease.
