NHS Health Checks

The NHS Health Check is a free check for those aged between 40 and 74 without any pre-existing conditions. You can read more about who is eligible for a NHS Health Check here.

We aim to invite all those who are eligible to have a NHS Health Check to book an appointment once every 5 years. We have only recently started rolling this programme out across our whole population, so please bear with us if you don’t get your invitation straight away.

What does the NHS Health Check involve?

You will be invited to book an in-person appointment with one of our Health Care Assistants in the first instance. They will ask you some questions about your health and lifestyle, take some measurements (incuding your height, weight, blood pressure and pulse) and take a blood test to check your cholesterol level. You may also have a blood test to look for diabetes if you are at risk of developing this condition.

Your NHS Health Check results

We will let you know the results of your NHS Health Check either at the end of the appointment or shortly afterwards. You will usually be told your risk of heart disease and diabetes in terms of whether this is low, medium or high. For those at high risk, we may also offer you medication or other treatments to help to reduce your risk. You will have the chance to discuss your results and any suggested treatment with a Clinician, who will also explain how we will follow-up and assess your progress.
