Suffolk NHS Health Check Service
Suffolk GP Federation manages various community services in alliance with East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust, West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, Suffolk County Council and Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust.
Suffolk GP Federation (The Fed) is offering the NHS Health Check Programme in Suffolk & Waveney. The NHS Health Check is a prevention programme which aims to reduce the chance of a heart attack, stroke or developing some forms of dementia in people aged 40-74.
It achieves this by assessing the top seven risk factors driving the burden of non-communicable disease in England, and by providing individuals with behavioural support and, where appropriate, pharmacological treatment.
The NHS Health Check is not suitable for individuals who already have cardiovascular or other related diseases, such as Coronary Heart Disease (CHD), Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), Stroke, and Diabetes Mellitus (DM).
A text will be sent to all who are eligible with an invite to a Health Check appointment. There will be a link in this text invite for you to complete a short questionnaire which includes where you would like to attend to have your check done and state your preferences on day of the week / time of day to attend the appointment and also to select where, either at your registered GP Practice or a local Pharmacy.
