NHS Health Checks
We are increasing access to NHS Health Checks for Haringey residents aged 40 to 74 with no pre-existing health conditions.

How does the service work?
Eligible patients receive a text containing a link to book an appointment. The link prompts patients to input their date of birth before showing a list of available appointments.
On acceptance, patients receive a confirmation text containing details of the appointment like date, time, location, and a link if they need to cancel.
Please contact the service number (078 8860 5220) if the link doesn’t work.
During the appointment
The health check is a 20-minute appointment with our nurse or health care assistant.
It is a physical health check which includes measurements of body mass index, blood pressure, alcohol consumption, and smoking status.
The check also includes a blood test for cholesterol, and a chance to receive healthy lifestyle advice which may include a referral to One You Haringey.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to have the blood test?
We advise all patients to have the blood test as it is a crucial part of the health check. Among other things, the results help us to determine a patient’s risk of developing a heart attack or stroke over the next 10 years.
While the blood test is not mandatory, patients are advised to have them done so that we can catch any warning signs early and act if anything is found.
What if I have had a blood test done recently?
Please let our nurse or health care assistant know so they can take that into consideration.
What if I need to reschedule?
Please follow the instructions on your appointment confirmation and call the service number.
