The NHS Health Check is a health check-up for adults in England aged 40 to 74 years available every five years. It is designed to spot early signs of stroke, kidney disease, heart disease, type 2 diabetes or dementia. All adults aged 40-74 years are eligible for an NHS Health Check who do not have pre-existing conditions such as heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.
There are also a number of screening programmes in place in England relating to antenatal and newborn, and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), diabetic retinopathy, breast cancer, cervical cancer and bowel cancer in adults. “Tests in pregnancy and in the newborn after birth are designed to help make the pregnancy safer, check and assess the development and wellbeing of the women and her baby, and screen for particular conditions”. Most of the screening programmes in adults can detect the condition prior symptoms being present, and thus can be treated earlier to prevent the disease or increase survival.
