If you are 40-75 and we do not routinely see you for other conditions, you may be invited to see our Clinical Healthcare assistant for a check-up that involves having your blood pressure checked, blood tested for diabetes and high cholesterol and a discussion about your weight, smoking, alcohol, diet and exercise if these apply.
We will then see you again to discuss the results and offer help if there are aspects of your lifestyle that put you at higher risk of heart disease or diabetes.
You do not have to wait for an invitation and can book an appointment for a “Well Person Check” if you have not yet received a letter.
For more information and help to improve your health and fitness we recommend the NHS Midlife Check website (https://www.midlifecheck.co.uk)
