NHS Health Checks
The NHS Health Check is a health check-up for adults in England aged 40 to 74. It’s designed to spot early signs of stroke, kidney disease, heart disease, type 2 diabetes or dementia. As we get older, we have a higher risk of developing one of these conditions. An NHS Health Check helps find ways to lower this risk. These checks consist of 2 appointments, the first being a 10 minute blood test appointment with a blood pressure taken and the second one is a 20 minute follow up appointment with one of the Health Care assistants. These appointments are to be booked at the same time. Once you have booked these you will be sent a tx message with a link to our website to complete a questionnaire in time for the second part of your review. Please let the receptionist know if you do not have a mobile or are unable to access the internet as you will need to collect the appropriate form.
To complete the form please visit the home page of our website and click on the green tile labelled “NHS Health Check Questionnaire”
