NHS Health Checks
This is a Health check or Health MOT for adults aged 40-74. It estimates the risk of having a heart disease such as a stroke or heart attack over the next ten years.
The risk of developing any of these conditions increases with age. We will provide you with information on ways to improve your overall health and wellbeing to lower the risks of developing these conditions. A full printed report and advice will be provided and where necessary a referral to your GP or other appropriate services will be made.
You will be invited for a free NHS Health Check every five years if you’re between 40 and 74 years old and do not already have heart disease, stroke, diabetes, kidney disease or high blood pressure. If you have been invited but not had a health check done or even if you have not been invited and you meet the eligible criteria, visit the pharmacy for your health check. For further information about Health checks contact us.
These include a blood pressure test and finding out your BMI and waist measurement. The results will show you if you need to make any lifestyle changes or need treatment.
