NHS Health Check Programme

The NHS Health Check programme aims to help you prevent:

  • Diabetes
  • Heart disease
  • Kidney disease
  • Stroke and Dementia

The check is for people aged between 40-74 years who are not known to already have one of these conditions, to identify potential risks early.

The check takes about 20-30 minutes. You will be asked some simple questions, for example, about your family history and any medication you are currently taking. Several measurements will be taken such as blood pressure, height, weight and a simple blood test to check your cholesterol. These details will be used to calculate your personal risk.

Your results will be discussed and advice and support will be provided on lifestyle changes that will help you to improve your health. Treatment or medication may be prescribed to help you maintain your health.

The NHS Health Check programme is currently being rolled out within some GP practices in Haringey.

Look out for your invitation to an NHS Health Check from your GP.
