Brighton NHS together with Brighton and Hove City Council are offering FREE NHS Health Checks for people aged 40 to 74 who live in Whitehawk who don’t already have heart disease, cholesterol, high blood pressure or diabetes.
Even if you’re feeling well it’s worth having you FREE NHS Health Check in your area now; you may be unaware that you have high blood pressure or high cholesterol.
We know that the risk of developing heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and kidney disease increases with age. There are also certain things that will put you at even higher risk:
• Being overweight
• Lack of exercise
• Smoking
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
We are offering a FREE NHS Health Check with a qualified nurse who will be able to assess your risk and give you advice on taking care of your health. It’s free, it’s quick and it’s completely confidential.
You could even be referred onto other agencies to help you increase your physical activity, give up smoking or lose weight – all free!
So if you are determined to do more about your health and well-being in 2011 contact the Health Development team on 01273 294557.
Best wishes for 2011.
