The NHS health check is a free check-up of overall health, helping medical professionals reveal whether the older individual is at higher risk of getting certain health problems, such as diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease or stroke.
However, when you turn 75, your GP will invite you to a senior health check, designed by the NHS to monitor and maintain the optimal health of elderly individuals. From managing existing conditions to catching potential issues in their early stages, these checks aim to help individuals maintain their independence and quality of life.
