Health checks
A routine health check can cover things like:
- current and previous illnesses
- immunisations and tests
- the current state of your health
- diet, smoking, exercise, alcohol and other factors that affect health
- blood pressure
- height and weight
- testing a sample of urine.
A health check is not a comprehensive screening for all illnesses.
New patients
If you are a new patient and have any ongoing health problem and/or you are over 45, then we recommend that you book a health check. Other new patients are also welcome to book a check. Just ask at reception.
Existing patients
You may like to have a health check every few years, particularly if you haven't been seen at the practice for a while. Just ask reception.
Over 75s
As we get older we may need more regular checks to ensure we stay well. So we offer a check every year for the over 75s.
