NHS Health Check

Taking care of your health is one of the best resolutions you can make this year. If you’re 40 or over, ensure your health and wellbeing are on the right track by booking a quick and free NHS Health Check at a local GP or pharmacy.

These checks are a vital and completely free service designed for people aged 40 to 74, to spot early signs of common heart related health problems like heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, dementia and kidney disease.
