NHS Health Checks

NHS Health Checks are available to anyone aged 40-74 registered with a GP in Blackburn with Darwen who have not had an NHS Health Check in the last 5 years. The check takes 30 minutes and helps to identify your risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease and dementia, enabling you to take action to improve your health.

International Men's Health Week (15th - 21st June)

As part of International Men's Health Week, we're encouraging men to take the first step towards better health. Men experience higher rates of some conditions including heart disease, type 2 diabetes and obesity and may face barriers to accessing support for mental health concerns. A free NHS Health Check is a great opportunity to understand your current health, identify potential risks early and access support to help you stay healthier for longer.

We are also hosting a free Men's Weight Management and Lifestyle Workshop during International Men's Health Week offering practical advice on healthy lifestyle, mental wellbeing and support available to help you stay healthy and well.
