NHS Health Checks for individuals aged 40-74 are not typically conducted by a GP. Instead, these health checks are often carried out by trained healthcare professionals. The NHS Health Check is a free, standardised programme focused on identifying risk factors for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, kidney disease, and stroke, as well as providing guidance on maintaining health.
For any follow-up care or treatments, if required based on the results, patients are then directed to their GP or another healthcare provider.
