Health check service
A complete health check up to help you live well

Our complete health check service is much more than a routine check-up. Our pharmacists will help you understand your heart health and cholesterol levels, your risk of stroke and diabetes, and give you advice on how to improve your healh and wellbeing.

What is the health check service?

The health check service is suitable for anyone over the age of 18. It aims to identify if you're at risk of, or have early signs of:

  • High blood pressure
  • Heart disease
  • Diabetes
  • Stroke.

We look at your lipid and blood glucose levels as well as factors which increase your risk of these conditions, such as:

  • Being overweight
  • Smoking
  • Excess alcohol consumption
  • Physical inactivity.

Our healthcare professionals will offer advice to help prevent these conditions developing in the future and give you guidance on the small changes you can make to live well.
