Face to face health checks more than double in one year More than one million people had a face-to-face NHS Health Check last year - more than double the previous year - new data published by the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) today shows.

The NHS Health Check helps to prevent heart attacks and strokes and is currently a face-to-face check-up for adults in England aged 40 to 74. It can help spot early signs of stroke, kidney disease, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, or dementia. Department of Health and Social Care
