Free NHS health checks will be taking place across Wealden district in partnership with One You East Sussex, after great success of a similar programme delivered last year.
The NHS Health Check is a free check-up designed to help residents lose weight, be smoke free, move more, eat well and drink less, as well as to spot the early signs of strokes, kidney disease, heart disease, type 2 diabetes or dementia.
Residents wanting to book a health check must meet the following criteria:
- Be aged between 40-74.
- Are not currently prescribed blood pressure or cholesterol medications
- Do not suffer from Diabetes OR Heart/Circulatory/Kidney conditions or previously suffered from any cardiovascular events.
- Be an East Sussex resident.
- Have not previously had a Health Check in the last 5 years.
The roadshow will visit Hailsham, Crowborough, Uckfield, Heathfield and Polegate to promote and raise awareness of positive health behaviours.
Appointments must be booked in advance by emailing [email protected] or [email protected].
There will be no access to a Health Check on the day, so a pre-booked appointment is essential.
