Health checks

An NHS Health Check can tell you if you’re at higher risk of getting certain health problems. This includes:

  • blood pressure
  • heart disease
  • diabetes
  • kidney disease
  • strokes

During the check-up, we’ll discuss how to reduce your risk and help you make a plan to stay healthy.

You are eligible for an NHS Health Check every 5 years if you’re between 40 and 74 years of age.
