The NHS Health Check in Wokingham is a free check-up for adults aged 40-74 without pre-existing conditions, designed to assess the health of your heart and blood vessels. It helps identify early signs and risks of conditions such as heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, type 2 diabetes, and dementia. The check takes 20-30 minutes and includes measurements of height, weight, waist, blood pressure, and cholesterol, with personalised advice to reduce risks. Checks are usually delivered in-person by a healthcare professional at GP surgeries or pharmacies across the Wokingham Borough, including areas like Arborfield, Earley, Finchampstead, Shinfield, Twyford, and Woodley. Eligible individuals are invited every 5 years by their GP or the council. If you haven't been invited and believe you're eligible, contact your GP practice or Wokingham Borough Council to book an appointment.
