NHS Health Checks

The NHS Health Check programme was established to help prevent heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and kidney disease. Patients aged 40 -74, who have not already been diagnosed with one of these conditions, are invited once every five years for a health check to assess their risk of developing CVD within the next 10 years. Patients will be given advice and support to help them reduce or manage the risk. Public Health South Tees (PHST) would like to contract with any and all GP Practices in the Middlesbrough area who are able to provide the government mandated NHS Health Check service to local residents.
