What is a NHS Health Check?

Healthworks is an award-winning charity based in Newcastle working with local communities across the North-East to support people of all ages to live longer, healthier and happier lives. The NHS Health Check is a check-up for adults in England aged 40 to 74, and is designed to spot early signs of stroke, kidney disease, heart disease, type 2 diabetes or dementia. Participants usually receive their results within 30 minutes.

Upcoming sessions are taking place in Eldon Square, where eligible people can come along and get their free NHS Health Check and personal healthy lifestyle advice. This is a fantastic opportunity to take a proactive step towards a healthier lifestyle. Their trained team will discuss key health indicators, provide valuable insights, and answer any questions you may have. Book your appointment today!
