NHS Health Check

The NHS Health Check is a free check-up of your overall health. It can tell you whether you're at higher risk of getting certain health problems, such as:

  • heart disease
  • diabetes
  • kidney disease
  • stroke

During the check-up, you'll also be told about symptoms of dementia to look out for.

This is available to patients aged 40 to 74, and those patients who do not have a pre-exisiting health condition.

If you are interested in having a NHS Health Check, you can visit the NHS UK page that has all the information you need about who is eligible and how often you should have it: NHS Health Checks - NHS UK

 

When you are invited

We will send out invitations to eligible patients, and patients who do wish to have an NHS Health Check should contact the surgery to arrange an appointment with one of our Health Care Assistants. This will be a 20 minute appointment.

In our invitations, you'll also be given a link to view the invitation leaflet. View this leaflet by clicking on this button:

After your appointment

We'll send you a letter with your health check results and what they mean for you.
