If you are aged 40 to 74 and do not have a pre-existing health condition, you will be invited to have an NHS health check with the nursing team every 5 years. The NHS health check aims to lower your risk of getting conditions which affect the heart and blood vessels, such as heart disease, strike and kidney disease.
The health check includes a blood pressure check, lifestyle questions and a blood test to check your cholesterol.
