*The NHS Health Check is a free 20 minute assessment available for Camden residents age 40-74 years (or 30+ if South Asian), who have not had a NHS Health Check in the last 5 years and not currently diagnosed with or taking medication for any cardiovascular condition, e.g. High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, Heart Attack or Heart Disease, Stroke or TIA (mini-stroke), Diabetes, Kidney Disease or Peripheral Arterial Disease. The NHS Health Check is designed to identify early symptoms and reduce the risk of stroke, diabetes, heart disease and kidney disease before conditions have a chance to develop.
