The NHS Health Check is for people aged 40-74 and helps you understand how healthy your heart is and what you can do to reduce your chance of having a heart attack or stroke.
To make the service more convenient and flexible, the NHS Health Check Online has been developed which can be completed through the NHS App or website, without a GP appointment.
Our practice is participating in piloting this service, along with GP practices in two other local authorities in England, so you may receive an invitation asking you to complete this and we encourage you to do so.
The NHS Health Check Online will involve completing a questionnaire about your health, submitting a blood pressure reading, and ordering and conducting an at home blood testing kit before posting it back to the lab. You will be able to receive your results through the NHS App and the GP will also receive a copy and follow up with you if required. Learn more about the NHS Health Check Online here.
