Health checks and screenings

You can get a free five-minute health check using one of our digital health kiosks at a library or leisure centre. 

You can measure your:

• height
• weight
• blood pressure
• heart rate
• alcohol dependency risk
• stress and anxiety risk
• smoking risk status
• body mass index (BM) to tell if you’re a healthy weight for your height

You don’t need to be registered with a library or leisure centre.

You do need: 

• an email address
• to be 16 or older

How health checks can help you

Having health checks can help you to:

• learn about your own health to stay healthier for longer
• get lifestyle advice tailored to you and find out where to get local support
• reduce your chance of developing long-term health conditions like cardiovascular disease (also known as heart and circulatory disease), diabetes and dementia
• track changes in your health by using the kiosks regularly
