NHS Health Check Online
The NHS Health Check is for people aged 40-74 and helps you understand how healthy your heart is and what you can do to reduce your chance of having a heart attack or stroke.
To make the service more convenient and flexible, an online service has been developed which means you can complete your NHS Health Check at home, without a GP appointment.
Our practice is one of the early adopters of this service, along with GP practices in ten other local authorities in England. Therefore, you may receive an invitation to complete the NHS Health Check online. We encourage you to complete it so you can better understand your heart health and how to reduce your risk of having a heart attack or stroke.
This supports the government’s ambition in the 10 Year Health Plan to shift from analogue to digital, sickness to prevention and hospital to community.

What is the NHS Health Check Online?
The NHSHC-O will be a single national product, accessible via the NHS App, offering participants the same assessment as an in-person check through an additional, flexible alternative mode of delivery.
What are the anticipated benefits?
By providing people with the choice to complete their NHS Health Check at a time and place convenient to them, we aim to engage more people in the life-saving programme, especially those who are otherwise reluctant or find it difficult to engage in healthcare settings.
The NHSHC-O also has the potential to bolster local capacity to deliver NHS Health Checks, overcome local variability in delivery and ease the pressure on the NHS by identifying and managing more people at risk of CVD earlier.
The service will be integrated with the NHS App and include:
- A digital health questionnaire
- A free home blood testing kit
Results will
- Upload automatically to the NHS App
- Link to the patient’s GP record
