Health checks
LANCASHIRE residents aged 40 to 74 are eligible for a free NHS health check.
As people get older, there is a higher risk of developing a condition such as high blood pressure, heart disease or diabetes.
It is important that everyone between the ages of 40 and 74 has a free NHS health check.
The check should take less than 20 minutes and will look at lifestyle, family medical history, cholesterol levels, and blood pressure.
