Older Persons Health

Regular checks

Regular check ups with your GP and nurse can be the best way to stay healthy, as health conditions can often be detected early. Proactively being aware of changes you are experiencing and communicating with us will also give us the best chance of treating you and giving you peace of mind.

Examples of check ups we provide include

• Blood pressure
• Prostate
• Vision
• Skin cancer
