Everyone is at risk of developing heart disease, stroke, diabetes, kidney disease and some forms of dementia. The good news is that these conditions can often be prevented-even if you have a history of them in your family.

For adults aged 40-74 without a pre-existing condition, a NHS Health Check can spot early signs of circulatory or vascular disease and help prevent these happening to you.

A NHS Health Check will prepare you better for the future and enable you to take steps to maintain or improve your health

If you would like a health check please ask at Reception for details.
