NHS HEALTH CHECK PROGRAMME
This is a notice of intent to publish a future tender opportunity.
The national NHS Health Check programme was launched in England in 2009 to provide vascular risk assessment checks for those in the 40 -74 year age group, to be implemented appropriately according to the needs of the local population. Residents attend a face-to-face consultation where they answer a series of questions, and tests are carried out to determine their risk of developing heart disease, stroke, diabetes and kidney disease.
Local Authorities have been responsible for the programme since 2013 in order to offer the risk assessment element of the NHS Health Check to their entire eligible population every five years, improve the percentage of people taking up the offer, working towards an aspiration of 75% of those offered a Health Check (or 15% each year of those eligible).
Going forward the service must take into account emerging developments around Digital NHS Health Checks (to complement face to face provision), engaging with hard-to-reach communities via the Healthy Inequality Community Champions, and providing relevant information regarding HIV & STI screening, PrEP and point-of-care HIV testing.
