A list of puns related to "NHS health check"
Seems way too high to be true. I can't find any source for this claim made in: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-59651954
I want to make the change to stop drinking (yay - health and energy). So I'm female and approaching 30 and overall in pretty good health - but I have been drinking fairly consistently for about the last 10 years, especially the last 5 years or so. Anywhere between 30 and a hundred units/week - constant mental battle of 'not going to drink' then drinking. Many years of subscribing to the 'functioning alcoholic myth' . And I realise this must have had some impact on my overall mental/physical. Spooky, my question, as I make this lifestyle change I would really like to have a bit of a health check up - especially checking things like liver. I live in the UK and want to know if it is possible to go to the doctor (NHS) and to say I want to make a change to what I'm regularly drinking but would just like to check I've not done any lasting damage? Basically, I never go to the doctor and feel stupid going without any serious symptoms, but also very much believe in prevention over cure (better to identify an issue in early stages and make lifestyle changes to stop it worsening than wait for symptoms and need medical intervention). Anyone with any experience of this? Thanks in advance for your help, look forward to joining people in sobriety soon!
It occurred to me last week when I paid about £100 for some treatment. Why can I go to my GP for free, or through the walk-in clinic at no cost at all, but yet dentist treatment costs money?
This isn't a complaint, just curious. I know it's not life critical but it can be as they can identify cancer during treatment and also some other serious issues too.
As well as this it also can have a significant affect on the quality of life, especially as you get older.
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 74%. (I'm a bot)
> Fewer than half of people eligible for a NHS health check in England have taken up the offer, despite it being free to everyone over 40.
> The routine check can pick up heart problems early and help to prevent dementia, plus highlight the need to stop smoking, NHS England said.
> Around 7.15 million people have had a free health check since 2013, yet 15 million are eligible, NHS stats show.
> "Alistair Burns, national clinical director for dementia and older people's mental health for NHS England, said:"Heart disease and dementia are two of the biggest health risks facing people in our country.
> "Attending a free NHS health check is a great opportunity to discuss existing health conditions, and to work out how to reduce the risk of developing dementia and other illness in the future."
> Public Health England said the check looked at the top causes of premature death and ill health and supported people to take action to reduce their risks.
