What is the NHS Health Check?
The NHS Health Check is a free check-up of your overall health.
It can tell you whether you're at higher risk of getting certain health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease and stroke.
If you are aged 40-74 and have not already been diagnosed with one of these conditions you can have a free NHS Health Check every five years to assess whether you are at Low, Medium or High risk - and what to do.
