Get Yourself Checked

Are you eligible for a FREE NHS Health Check?

All 40 - 74 year olds are eligible for a free NHS Health Check every 5 years.

It's designed to spot early signs of stroke, kidney disease, heart disease, type 2 diabetes or dementia. As we get older, we have a higher risk of developing one of these conditions. An NHS Health Check helps find ways to lower this risk.
