Have your say about NHS Health Checks in Lambeth
An NHS Health Check is a free check-up of your overall health, and usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes. A health professional, often a nurse or healthcare assistant, will ask you some questions about your lifestyle and family history, measure your height and weight, take your blood pressure, and do a blood test.
The check-up tell you whether you’re at higher risk of developing preventable problems like heart disease, a stroke, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease or dementia. During the check-up you’ll also discuss how you can reduce your risk of these conditions.
The NHS Health Check is available by invitation from your GP to anyone aged between 40-75 years old who has not already been diagnosed with heart disease, diabetes or kidney disease, or had a stroke. Feedback is welcome from anyone who meets the eligibility criteria for the NHS Health Check.
Lambeth Council is responsible for overseeing the NHS Health Check programme in Lambeth, as part of its public health role in preventing ill health. The Council works with NHS service providers and other organisations in Lambeth Together health and care partnership to make sure that health and care services meet local needs and use feedback on what people say matters to them.
