NHS Health Check

The NHS Health Check is a free screening service for adults aged 40-74 in England, designed to assess the risk of developing certain health conditions such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, kidney disease, and dementia. During the check, a healthcare professional evaluates your personal health details, measures vitals like blood pressure and cholesterol, and discusses lifestyle factors. The goal is to identify risks early so you can take steps to improve your health through lifestyle changes or treatment, ultimately reducing the chance of developing serious illnesses later on.
