NHS health checks and cardiovascular prevention
The NHS Health Check programme aims to help prevent heart disease, stroke, diabetes and kidney disease. Everyone between the ages of 40 and 74 can now undergo this free check. Where necessary, advice and referral for treatment are given on an individual basis.
Across North Central London every borough is running a programme to make the NHS Health available. Representatives from all programmes meet quarterly to share best practice and work collaboratively to increase the number of health checks that are performed.
