NHS Health Checks
We are now offering NHS Health Checks.
If you are eligible, you will receive an invitation to book an appointment at our Health Pod where you can take your blood pressure, height, weight and answer some simple questions. One you have completed this, the information will be sent to your medical records and you will be called by the HCA for the rest of the health check.
You can find out more information about NHS Health checks and why they are important here NHS Health Check - NHS
