Community Health Checks

Take control of your heart health and identify potential risks before it’s too late

Coronary heart disease is responsible for 68,000 deaths each year in the UK, yet it is largely preventable. Our Heart Health Checks help you understand your heart health numbers and take steps to reduce your risk.

What's Involved?

Our health checks last 20 minutes and are completely free to book. You will have access to:

Blood Pressure

A simple test using a blood pressure monitor will tell you if your blood pressure is healthy, raised, high, or very high. We will explain the results in detail and refer you to your GP for further investigation if necessary.

Body Composition Analysis

Using bioelectrical impedance scales, we measure your body fat, muscle mass, and overall health, offering key insights into your heart health and fitness.

Cholesterol

A quick finger-prick test provides you with your cholesterol results in minutes. Monitoring your cholesterol is essential for heart health, as high levels can increase your risk of heart disease and stroke.

Tailored Lifestyle Advice

Your results will be thoroughly explained, and you'll receive personalised behavioral lifestyle advice from our Healthy Heart Coaches to help improve your heart health.

"The health check was free, easy to book, and professional."

"Just 20 minutes of your time could have a huge impact on your lifetime!"

"Completely unaware of the outcome, glad I signed up."

"A fantastic opportunity to attend a free heart health check, very grateful for the chance to find out more about my heart health."

"Quick and simple heart health checks are what could save your life. Everyone should do them."

"Intervention is better than cure, so these checks are perfect for this and so efficient too, results are quickly reported back.“

"Very well-informed explanations about all the issues which arose. Very professional practitioner."

"Lauren was great. Tailored my health check to me and her advice was based on what she’d already worked out would get me the best results."

"Amie was very friendly and reassuring, spoke very clearly and concisely about everything and made it an extremely easy, comforting, and enjoyable experience."

"The staff who completed my heart health check were first class. Polite, engaging, and extremely knowledgeable on heart health matters."

"The blood pressure readings I received at the health check resulted in me seeing my GP that day and being prescribed medication for hypertension. Thank you!"

"Having this health check is like a mini MOT, it's good to find out if you need to make changes to have a healthier heart."

"We are not allowed to drive a car over 3 years old without a yearly MOT, but we don’t get a yearly MOT! This service was like a reassuring MOT of my health."

"It only takes a few minutes and could pick up issues early so that they can be addressed before they become a problem."

"It’s quick, it’s easy, it’s free. You can’t see what’s happening inside your body, so it’s well worth taking this opportunity to have a health check."

"I have always advocated check-ups like this rather than wait for something to happen. Prevention rather than cure is best to reduce the problems with the NHS."
