NHS Health Check
As we get older, we have a higher risk of developing conditions like high blood pressure, heart disease or type 2 diabetes.
Your FREE NHS Health Check can spot early signs and help prevent these happening to you, which means you'll be more likely to enjoy life for longer.
Everyone aged 40 to 74 who has not already been diagnosed with one of these conditions or has certain risk factors will receive an invitation once every five years to receive support and advice to help them reduce or manage their risk of:
- Heart Disease
- Stroke
- Kidney Disease

Cervical Screening Results on NHS App from September
From September, NHS England plans to start sending results from the NHS Cervical Screening Programme directly to patients via their NHS app.
Patients who receive a negative test result will be notified by an NHS app notification. If the NHS app notification has not been read within 72 hours, a letter will be sent to the registered address.
Any abnormal results will continue to be delivered by letter.
We would encourage everyone to download the NHS App and enable notifications.
