The NHS Health Check is a free check for those aged between 40-74 to check-up your overall health.
It can tell you whether you're at higher risk of getting certain health problems, such as:
During the check-up you'll also discuss how to reduce your risk of these conditions and dementia.
If you're over 65, you will also be told the signs and symptoms of dementia to look out for.
You'll be invited for a free NHS Health Check every 5 years if you're between 40 and 74 years of age and do not already have a pre-existing condition.
If you're registered with a GP surgery that offers the NHS Health Check, you should automatically get an invitation. Do not worry if you have not been invited yet – you will be over the next 5 years.
Alternatively, your local authority will send you an appointment letter explaining where you have to go for your NHS Health Check.
If you're not sure if you're eligible for an NHS Health Check and would like one, or if you are eligible but have not had an NHS Health Check in the last 5 years, ask at a GP surgery for an appointment.
