Henry Smith MP is seeking to raise awareness of health checks being provided across Crawley for people aged between 40 and 74 years.

Henry said;

“I am pleased to see the NHS Health Check programme in West Sussex. It is a free 20-30 minute check to assess the risk of developing heart disease, stroke, diabetes and kidney disease.

“Even if you do not fall between the ages covered, please do pass this information to friends and relatives. One can never be too careful when it comes to our health.”

Following the assessment, the results will be discussed and personalised advice will be given. The consultation includes simple questions and information about height, weight and ethnicity. Simple tests such as blood pressure, and usually a finger prick test for cholesterol, will be taken.
