NHS Health Checks

An NHS Health Check is for residents aged 40 to 74 years old to check if they’re at risk from cardiovascular disease (CVD). The process, as laid out in government legislation, assesses a range of health factors, including smoking status, family history of coronary heart disease, body mass index, cholesterol level, blood pressure, physical activity levels, cardiovascular risk score, and alcohol consumption.

For Dorset and BCP Council areas, we have a more targeted approach and encourage providers to invite residents with certain cardiovascular risk factors which are outlined in the service specification.
