Where can I get a NHS Health Check?

As you get older, your risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease and dementia increase, and there are many lifestyle factors that can increase your risk of suffering from these conditions.

By having a free NHS Health Check, you can nip certain conditions in the bud and prevent yourself from developing any in the future.

Who and where can I have a free NHS check?

If you're aged 40-74 and you haven't had a stroke, or you don't already have heart disease, diabetes or kidney disease, you should have an NHS Health Check every five years.

Everyone Health is able to provide you with a free NHS Check. 

It only takes around 20 or 30 minutes and it will involve answering certain questions, having your blood pressure and cholesterol levels checked, as well as recording your height, weight, age, sex and ethnicity.
