Transcript
The NHS Health Check became a statutory public service in 2013 and is now one of the largest public health programmes in the world.
NHS Health Checks are offered every 5 years to all adults aged between 40 and 74 who are not known to have a pre-existing condition and these can be delivered by a number of healthcare professionals including pharmacists.
The programme aims to improve the health and wellbeing of adults by identifying those who may be at increased risk of stroke, kidney disease, heart disease, type 2 diabetes or dementia and to find ways to help them lower their risk and in doing so improve their health outcomes.
This page identifies a wide range of learning opportunities linked to the NHS Health Checks Programme.
As well as clinical information to increase your knowledge on cardiovascular risk there is signposting to the NHS Health Checks Programme website to let you hear from people who have accessed the service. The learning on service delivery not only covers the training requirements of the service but also the practical aspects such as taking a blood pressure and there is also information on how to access your local Health Checks data to see where gaps in provision may be.
