YOUR PERSONAL GUIDE
An NHS Health Check looks at cardiovascular risk, helping you understand factors linked to heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and diabetes. It is a prevention check, even when you feel well.
The programme is generally for adults aged 40–74 without certain existing conditions, offered every five years. Diagnosed cardiovascular disease, diabetes, kidney disease, hypertension and some other conditions or treatments can mean you need a different review pathway.
Allow around 20–30 minutes. Checks typically include blood pressure, height, weight, waist and cholesterol, with questions about family history and lifestyle. Additional blood tests may be needed.
Your results inform a ten-year cardiovascular risk estimate and a discussion about manageable changes. Depending on the findings, follow-up with your GP or another local service may be recommended.
