The NHS health check is a free health check-up for adults in England aged 40-74.

It aims to spot early signs of stroke, kidney disease, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and dementia because as we get older our risk of developing one of these conditions increases.
If you would like to book an NHS health check please contact reception to make an appointment.
The appointment will only take around 20 minutes and the clinician will ask you some simple questions about your lifestyle and family history, measure your height and weight, take your blood pressure and do a blood test.
You will then receive personalised advice to help lower your risk. This could include:
- How to improve your diet and the amount of physical activity you do
- How to lose weight or stop smoking
If a particular problem is found, such has high blood pressure, then we will make an appointment for you to see a doctor.
