NHS Health Checks

In partnership with all Herefordshire GP practices, Taurus Healthcare supports NHS Health Checks in the county.

NHS Health Checks are targeted at adults in England, aged 40-74, and are designed to spot the early signs of stroke, kidney disease, heart disease, type 2 diabetes or dementia. Taurus Healthcare supports NHS Health Checks in all Herefordshire GP practices.

As we get older, there is a greater risk of us developing one or more of the above conditions. NHS Health Checks are designed to help find ways to lower the risks.

If you're aged 40-74 and do not have a pre-existing condition, you can expect to receive a letter from your GP or local authority inviting you for a free NHS Health Check every five years. 

For more information about the service (or if you have not received a letter or invitation in the last five years) please contact your GP Surgery to enquire about the service.
