Free Health Checks
Everyone is at risk of developing heart disease, stroke, diabetes or kidney disease. The good news is that these conditions can often be prevented – even if you have a history of them in your family. Have your free NHS Health Check and you will be better prepared for the future and be able to take steps to maintain or improve your health.
If you're aged between 40 - 74 and haven't been diagnosed with any of the mentioned problems you qualify for a free health check. Email us to book your place.
