NHS Health Checks

The NHS Health Check is a vital preventative measure designed to assess your overall health and identify any potential risks early on.

The comprehensive check-up involves various tests, including blood pressure, cholesterol, and BMI measurements, as well as discussions about lifestyle factors like diet and exercise. It plays a crucial role in detecting conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and stroke before they become serious health issues.

The NHS Health Check is available for adults aged 40 to 74 who do not already have a pre-existing condition. By participating in this program, individuals can take proactive steps towards maintaining their well-being and enjoying a healthier, longer life.
