NHS Health Check Invitations

Description

The overarching aims of the Croydon NHS Health Check programme as a whole are: • To offer an NHS Health Check to the eligible population as part of a 5 year rolling programme; • To improve health outcomes and quality of life by enabling more people to be identified at an earlier stage of vascular change, with a better chance of putting in place positive ways to substantially reduce the risk of cardiovascular morbidity, premature death, or disability; • To enable the prevention of diabetes in many of those at increased risk of this disease; • To reduce the incidence of CHD, stroke, diabetes, CKD and vascular dementia; • To sustain the continuing increase in life expectancy and reduction in premature mortality that are under threat from the rise in obesity and sedentary living; • To reduce health inequalities, including socio-economic, ethnic and gender inequalities.
