At Health Hub Narwee, we believe prevention is better than cure. Regular health checks play a vital role in identifying potential risks early, even before symptoms appear. By staying on top of your health with routine assessments, you can reduce the risk of serious illness and enjoy a healthier, longer life.
What’s Included in Preventative Health Checks?
Depending on your age, family history, and individual needs, your GP may recommend:
- Heart health checks – blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes screening
- Cancer screening – bowel, breast, cervical, prostate, and skin checks
- Immunisations – keeping vaccinations up to date
- Weight and lifestyle assessment – diet, exercise, smoking, and alcohol use
- Mental health screening – early support for stress, anxiety, or depression
- Bone health – osteoporosis screening, especially for older adults
- General blood tests and health assessments
Who Should Have a Health Check?
Preventative health checks are important for everyone, but particularly if you:
- Are over 40 years old
- Have a family history of chronic illness (e.g. heart disease, diabetes, cancer)
- Live with existing health conditions
- Want peace of mind and a proactive approach to your wellbeing
What to Expect
During your appointment, your GP will:
- Discuss your medical and family history
- Perform relevant examinations
- Arrange any necessary blood tests or scans
