65 year old health check

In 2020 we launched a new service offering a free health check to all islanders turning 65.

Led by the nursing team, the appointment will take 20 minutes and include a health and lifestyle questionnaire assessment for a range of illnesses including risk of heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, stroke, mental ill health and abdominal aortic aneurysm.

The checks, which are funded by the Health Innovation Charitable Trust, are designed to spot early signs of illness and offer an opportunity to discuss ways of lowering risk factors.

Following a successful trial period in 2020 the service is now available to everyone turning 65 in 2022/2023, whether they are a patient of Queens Road or not.

All participating patients will be issued with a written report, a copy of which will be sent to their own General Practitioner.
