Alternative Provider for the Provision of NHS Health Checks

This notice outlines the provision of NHS Health Checks Public Health programme by an Alternative Provider to fill the gaps in service delivery.

The NHS Health Check is a national risk assessment and prevention programme that identifies people at risk of developing heart disease, stroke, diabetes, kidney disease or certain types of dementia and helps them to take action to avoid, reduce or manage their risk of developing these health problems.

The majority of the NHS Health Checks are delivered by the GP Practices in Bromley via an SLA but there are gaps in provision. To meet the statutory responsibilities, it is necessary to have an alternative provider in place to address these gaps, so that all eligible people can be offered an NHS Health Check.

The target number of Health Checks to be completed by the Alternative Provider is 1000 per annum.
