The surgery offers free health checks every 5 years for both men and women between the ages of 40 and 74. Your NHS Health Check will be done by a healthcare professional. This will usually be a nurse, but it could also be a doctor, pharmacist or healthcare assistant.
An NHS Health Check takes about 30 minutes. A nurse or healthcare assistant will:
* ask some questions about your lifestyle and family history
* measure your height and weight
* take your blood pressure
* do a blood test
We’ll then give you personalised advice to help you stay healthy.
If you think you are eligible for an NHS Health Check, you can contact the surgery to ask for an appointment.
