A structured assessment of cardiovascular risk and general health.
What is involved
Adults wanting a baseline or a periodic check
A full check covering blood pressure, weight, bloods, cardiovascular risk and the screening you are eligible for, with time afterwards to go through what the numbers mean. It is not a test for everything — no check is — and part of the appointment is being clear about what it does and does not cover.
What the appointment includes
How it works
A few minutes online or at reception. We request your previous records so we have your history before you need us.
Same-day slots for acute illness, routine appointments for everything else, and longer ones for clinics. Say what it is about and reception will book correctly.
With your full record in front of the clinician. Ask for a particular doctor where continuity matters to you.
Bloods and investigations are arranged with a clear statement of when and how you will get the result. We contact you about abnormal results.
Long-term conditions are recalled rather than left to you to remember. The interval is set at your review.
Register online or at reception; it takes a few minutes. We will request your previous records, which usually take a couple of weeks to arrive — you can be seen in the meantime.
Appointments
Same-day appointments are released each morning for people who are unwell. Routine appointments and clinics can be booked further ahead.
