NHS Health Checks

Aged 40-74?

Find out about our FREE NHS Health Check

Even though you might be feeling great, if you’re over forty you may be at risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, diabetes or dementia.

A FREE NHS Health Check can help you reduce these risks and make sure that you stay healthy.

You are welcome to take up the offer of an NHS Health Check if you are between the ages of 40 and 74 and have not been diagnosed with heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease or dementia.

The check-up will take between 20-30 minutes – you will be asked some simple questions and records of your height, weight, age, sex and ethnicity will be made. We will check your blood pressure and cholesterol. You will not need a blood test from your vein- instead a sample can be taken by a simple finger prick.

At the appointment our Healthcare Assistant will provide you with your results and explain the risks to you along with advice on how you can lower your risk and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
