NHS Health Checks are being offered to people aged between 40 and 74 once every five years. The check is to assess your risk of developing heart disease, stroke, kidney disease or diabetes. If there are any warning signs, then together we can do something about it. By taking early action, you can improve your health and prevent the onset of these conditions. There is good evidence for this.
The NHS health check appointments are 20 minutes and the check is based on straightforward questions and also be a simple blood test to measure your cholesterol level.Following the check you will receive free personalised advice about what you can do to stay healthy.
NHS health check appointments are available at The Park Surgery and Herne & Broomfield Surgery and are run by Nurse Justine Jones, Nurse Lorraine Rose and Health Care Assistant Sharon Northrop.
NHS health check appointments are offered by invitation only. If you are eligible and due an NHS health check you shall receive a letter from the surgery asking you to ring and arrange an appointment. Unfortunately we are not able to book you an appointment until you have received this letter.
