NHS Health Check

Helping you prevent heart disease, stroke, diabetes and kidney disease

Your results

The results of your NHS Health Check will give you and your GP a clearer picture of your health and your risk of developing one of the vascular diseases: heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and type 2 diabetes. There will be time to discuss your results, and you'll be offered personalised advice on how to maintain or improve your health.

Understanding your results: risk
Your results will place you in one of three risk groups: low, medium or high.
