Why do I need an NHS Health Check? I feel fine?
Everyone is at risk of developing heart disease, stroke, diabetes and kidney disease. The good news is that these conditions can often be prevented – even if you have a history of them in your family.
Have your FREE NHS Health Check and you will be better prepared for the future and be able to take steps to maintain or improve your health.
What happens at a Health Check?
• The check takes up to 30 minutes.• You’ll be asked some simple questions about your family history
and any medication you’re taking.• Your height, weight, age, sex and ethnicity will be recorded.• Your blood pressure will be taken.• A simple blood test will be done to check your cholesterol and,
in some cases, your blood sugar levels.• You’ll be given personalised advice on how to lower your risk and
maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Where do I go?
FREE NHS Health Checks are available at your GP practice. You might be able to fit your Health Check around your lifestyle, ask your local GP practice if they can offer you evening or weekend appointments.
Make sure you’re in good running order. If you’re invited for an NHS Health Check be sure to make an appointment – it will help you prepare for the future.
