Previously you had to visit the doctor, but now it is available at pharmacies to make the process even quicker and easier.
Health Checks can help spot the early signs of problems that could raise your risk of heart disease, stroke, dementia and other serious health conditions.
Health checks involve a series of easy checks (like blood pressure, body mass index and cholesterol levels) and lifestyle questions, to help determine your risk of common but preventable heart-related conditions like heart disease, dementia, type 2 diabetes and stroke.
You’ll get a risk score and have this explained to you by your local pharmacist or GP. If you’re at a higher risk, we can help point you in the direction of local services and lifestyle tips to lower that risk.
In order to be eligible for an NHS Health Check, you must not have been previously diagnosed with diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease or stroke.
