Please contact your GP practice as normal to check availability. Please also watch out for further updates on how you can book these directly via our online portal.

Free NHS Health Checks are being offered to people aged between 40 and 74 once every five years.

The check is to assess your risk of developing heart disease, stroke, kidney disease or diabetes. if there are any warning signs, then together we can do something about it.

By taking early action, you can improve your health and prevent one of these conditions. There is good evidence for this.

The check should take about a maximum of 20 minutes and is based on straightforward questions and measurements, such as age, sex, family history, height, weight, smoking status and blood pressure. There will also be a simple blood test to measure your cholesterol level.

Following the check you will receive free personalised advice about what you can do to stay healthy.

Take a look at the leaflets displayed in the waiting area for more information about the NHS Health Check and how it could benefit you. If you are interested please make an appointment with our Health Care Assistant, Rachel.
