The NHS Health Check: where are we now?

The aim of the NHS Health Check is to improve health and wellbeing of adults aged 40–74 through earlier detection and management of individual risk factors for vascular disease and other conditions associated with them. The programme was launched in 2009 in response to the rising tide of preventable death and disability from non‐communicable disease, and is intended to reach 15 million eligible people in England every five years. The authors describe the programme and progress so far.
