NHS Health Checks
We are all at risk of developing heart disease, stroke, diabetes, or kidney disease, but these diseases are preventable. An NHS Health Check will assess your personal risk of developing one of these conditions, and give you advice and support to reduce your risk.
If you are aged 40 to 74 and you do not suffer from any of these conditions you will be invited by your G.P Practice to attend for an NHS Health Check.
If you do not want to wait for an invitation you can contact reception and they will be able to arrange your appointment as long as you are eligible for the check.
