Over 75 Health Assessments
Patients Aged 75 And Over will be invited for a health assessment in the month of their 75th birthday.
- If you are housebound then arrangements can be made to visit you at home.
We will endeavor to contact all patients over 75 who have not been seen every three years or you can make an appointment with our Health Care Assistant for a check-up if you have any concerns.
GPs will recall patients who are on regular medication or with a chronic disease at regular intervals.
NHS Health Check
The NHS is offering free health checks to adults aged 40-74 once every five years. The check is to assess your risk of developing heart disease, stroke, kidney disease or diabetes.
If there are warning signs, then together we can do something about it.
- There is good evidence that by taking early action you can improve your health and prevent the onset of these conditions.
If you are already diagnosed with a chronic disease then this check-up does not apply to you.
The check should take about 20-30 minutes and is based on straightforward questions and measurements such as age, sex, family history, height, weight, and blood pressure. There will also be a simple blood test to measure your cholesterol level.
