The NHS Health Check is a health check-up for adults in England aged 40-74. 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. You will receive an invitation which will contain a link to book in for a blood test. When we receive the results, we will contact you to book a face to face appointment to complete the remaining parts of the health check.
