Health checks and WELL MAN/WELL WOMAN checks
When you first join the practice you will be asked to have a "new patient health check" with the Health Care Assistant (HCA).
You can also see the HCA or the practice nurses for health checks and "well man"/"well woman" checks- you can book these appointments at reception.
We recommend that all patients have a health check at least every 5 years, more often for certain conditions and for the over 75's.
Patients aged 40-75 are entitled to the new NHS healthcheck to assess for cardiac risk factors- please book an appointment for a fasting blood test then after the results are back (usually one week) please book a further appointment with Daksha (healthcare assistant) for the full health check.
