NHS Health Check

Introduction

The NHS is encouraging people to be procative in looking after their future health. By calculating your specific risk of certain conditions we can help you make changes to reduce the risks.

Everyone is at risk of developing heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes or kidney disease. But these diseases can often be prevented, and NHS Health Check can help you by assessing your risk and giving you personalised advice on how to reduce it.

If you’re aged 40 to 74 and do not have a pre-existing health condition, you should be invited to an NHS Health Check by your GP  every 5 years.  We will send an invite via text where possible. You will receive an invite to book into your blood test appointment and for your NHS Health Check. 

Your appointment 

The NHS Health Check involves a few straightforward health tests and some simple questions about your medical history. We ask that you have a blood test prior to your appointment. During your appointment we will take your blood pressure, pulse, height and weight. We will ask some details about family history. The information you provide along with your test results will formulate the result.

Your Results

The results of your NHS Health Check will give you and your GP a clearer picture of your health and your risk of developing one of the vascular diseases: heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and type 2 diabetes. There will be time to discuss your results, and you'll be offered personalised advice on how to maintain or improve your health. Small changes can have a significant impact to your future health.

Take Action

At an NHS Health Check, you'll be given personalised advice that will help you to maintain or improve your health, and lower your risk of developing heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes or kidney disease.

By taking action you'll improve your chance of a longer, healthier life. Again, small changes can have a positive impact on your future health.
