Read More »You can have an NHS Health Check if you're aged 40 to 74 and you have not had a stroke, or do not already have a pre-existing health condition. If this applies to you, you can expect to receive a letter from a GP surgery or local authority inviting you for an NHS Health Check every 5 years. You may also receive reminders about your NHS Health Check appointment by phone or email. Will I get an NHS Health Check from my GP surgery? Because the NHS Health Check programme is run by local authorities, how you get your check varies, depending on where you live. The majority of NHS Health Checks are done in GP surgeries and local pharmacies, but in some areas they may also be offered at other suitable and accessible places in your area. For example, to passers-by at mobile units or at leisure centres. To find out how you can get an NHS Health Check where you live, find out more about the NHS Health Check programme in your area or contact your local authority directly. What should I do if I’m under the age of 40 or over the age of 74? People under the age of 40 are not included in the NHS Health Check programme because younger people have a lower risk of the health conditions tested for during the check. But if you have any questions, speak to a GP or nurse. If you're over the age of 74 and have any questions or concerns, you should also speak to a GP or nurse as soon as possible. Is there anything I can do to get an NHS Health Check other than wait to be invited? You could ask your GP surgery if they offer the NHS Health Check and if they can let you know when you will be invited. If your GP surgery does not offer the NHS Health Check, find out where the NHS Health Check programme is offered in your area or contact your local authority to find out how to get a check. Ask a pharmacist Some pharmacies offer NHS Health Checks. It's worth asking a local pharmacist if they can help. Many pharmacies can take your blood pressure even if they are not providing the NHS Health Check. Private health checks If you're eligible, the NHS Health Check is free of charge, including any follow-up tests and appointments. Private health providers offer the tests available on the NHS Health Check, but you have to pay. Online tests and tools There are many online interactive tools and self-assessments that can help you immediately get an idea of how healthy you are. If you're over 30, calculate your heart age to see what your risk of getting heart disease or stroke is. Use the BMI calculator to see whether you're a healthy weight for your height. If you're overweight, it will also tell you what your daily calorie range should be to help you lose weight.
