The NHS Health Check is a health check-up for adults in England aged 40-74. It’s designed to spot early signs of stroke, kidney disease, heart disease, type 2 diabetes or dementia. As we get older, we have a higher risk of developing one of these conditions. An NHS Health Check helps find ways to lower this risk.
NHS Health Checks are now provided by Staffordshire County Council. Appointments can be booked via their website: NHS Health Checks – Everyone Health Staffordshire, or text the word ‘HEART’ to 60777, and a member of the team will be in touch. Alternatively, you can call 0333 005 0095.
