Care Coordinator

This service is provided at PCN level.

Care co-ordinators help to co-ordinate and navigate care across the health and care system, helping people make the right connections, with the right teams at the right time. They can support people to become more active in their own health and care and are skilled in assessing people’s changing needs. Care co-ordinators are effective in bringing together multidisciplinary teams to support people’s complex health and care needs.

They can be an effective intervention in supporting people to stay well particularly those with long term conditions, multiple long-term conditions, and people living with or at risk of frailty.

NHS Health Checks

Non-urgent advice: Why should I have an NHS Health Check?

Anyone can be at risk of developing heart disease, stroke, diabetes, kidney disease and some forms of dementia. These can be referred to as vascular disease. The good news is that these conditions can often be prevented, even if you have a history of them in your family.

Non-urgent advice: How do I get an NHS Health Check?

Everyone between the ages of 40 and 74 (except people who have already been diagnosed with one of these conditions or have certain risk factors) will be invited to a free NHS Health Check every five years. Have your check and you will be able to take steps to maintain or improve your health.

You can contact your GP practice to see if you’re eligible. If you are outside that age range and concerned about your health, please speak to your GP.

Non-urgent advice: What happens at the NHS Health Check?

The check will last about 20-30 minutes and you’ll be asked about your family history and lifestyle choices. Your height, weight, age, gender and ethnicity will be recorded and your blood pressure and cholesterol will be checked.

Heart Age Test

To better understand your risk of having a heart attack or stroke take the heart age test.

  • Renal disease
  • Immunosuppression due to disease or treatment
  • Diabetes
