If you are aged between 45 – 49 years old and are at risk of a chronic condition you may be eligible for a free health check-up.

These health assessments are for patients that our doctors believe are at risk of developing a chronic disease due to the identification of specific risk factor(s).

A health assessment in these years can promote necessary changes to lifestyle, delaying or avoiding the onset of chronic disease.

Risk Factors for chronic disease include: 

• High cholesterol

• Alcohol use

• Excess weight

• Physical inactivity

• Smoking

• Poor nutrition

• High blood pressure

• Impaired glucose metabolism

• A family history of a chronic disease (asthma, cardiovascular disease, mental health condition, arthritus, cancer, diabetes mellitus etc.)

The health check incorporates 

• A patient history 

• Any necessary physical investigations and examinations 

• An overall assessment of the patient’s health 

• Evaluation of the patient’s willingness to make changes to their lifestyle 

• Advice and information as well as strategies to achieve these behavioural and lifestyle changes; 

• A record of the health assessment, and the offer of a written report including any recommendations
