Free health checks
FREE NHS health checks are to be offered to people aged between 40 and 74 years across the whole of the East Riding.
The five-yearly checks are available from providers across the region, including some GP practices, pharmacies and East Riding of Yorkshire Council leisure centres.
The checks will assess a person’s risk of developing diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, stroke and dementia.
By taking early action, steps can be taken to improve health and help to prevent the onset of these conditions.
Providers of free NHS health checks in the East Riding include Bartholomew Medical Group, Goole, Brough and South Cave Medical Practice, Church View Surgery, Hedon and Holme and Bubwith Medical Group, Holme-on-Spalding Moor.
