What are health checks?

The NHS Health Check is your chance to get your free midlife MOT. It is available for adults in England aged 40 to 74 without a pre-existing condition. It checks your circulatory and vascular health and what your risk of getting a disabling vascular disease is.

You can find out about what happens at the health check and how to get one on our Somerset NHS Health Check page.
