What is NHS LifeCheck?

NHS LifeCheck

NHS LifeCheck is an online service that helps people assess how their lifestyle may affect their health.

The service is designed to inform, empower and support people, to help them change their lifestyle so they can be healthier and live longer. NHS LifeCheck was developed by the Department of Health and partners, including health and social care professionals, academic researchers, stakeholders, experts and the public.

The service was relaunched in early 2011. It provides current information and practical advice, supporting people in making small changes that can make a big difference to their future health and wellbeing.
