Health checks for Patients aged 40 – 74 years
The NHS Health Check is a health check-up for adults in England aged 40-74. 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. You should receive a letter inviting you to have a health check every five years, you do not need to wait for your invite letter, if you are eligible you can book one with reception.
These health checks conducted by the practice nurses are for both men and women and are for patients between the ages of 40 & 74 years of age.
