Health Checks

Patients Aged 40-74

The NHS Health Check is a check-up for adults in England aged 40 to 74. It can help spot early signs of stroke, kidney disease, heart disease, type 2 diabetes or dementia.

The check will take about 20-30 minutes. You will be asked some simple questions for example, about your family history and choices which may put your health at risk. We will record your height, weight, age, sex and ethnicity and take your blood pressure. We will do a simple blood test to check your cholesterol level. You will be given personalised advice on how to lower your risk and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

To help you remain as fit and as healthy as possible we like to see you at least once every 12 months.  Please arrange an appointment with a Practice Nurse around the time of your birthday each year.
