This free health check can detect early signs of conditions like heart disease, kidney disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and dementia. It includes either an NHS Health Check for residents aged 40-74 or a wellbeing check for those aged 18+ who aren't eligible for the NHS Health Check. Wellbeing checks are similar but don't include a cholesterol test. You'll answer questions about your lifestyle and medical history, have some measurements taken, and get your results immediately, with a chance to ask questions.
If you’re a smoker and you want to quit, the Better Health Bus staff can help. They can sign you up for our 12-week one-one service, or offer you a free 4-week vape kit. Check out our Stop Smoking Service page if you’d like to explore what other options are available to help you.
Staff are also on hand to provide reliable advice and guidance to help you manage your health and signpost you to the local services that can help you.
