In their latest newsletter Dorset Council ask if 40-74 year olds have had an NHS health check.
An NHS health check is a free check on your cardiovascular health and can spot early signs of diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease or stroke. To find out how you get invited and what happens during an NHS Health check, watch this video.
If you’ve been invited for an NHS Health Check by your GP, do take up the offer and book your appointment with them. If you haven’t heard from your GP, you may be eligible for a community NHS Health Check with LiveWell Dorset. Check your eligibility and find a location near you.
Even if you are feeling well right now, these checks are still important to help protect your health in the future.
