"Frustrated"

About: Bishopston Medical Practice

I had a telephone medical review with a Dr which was fine but I expressed a concern about diabetes given my background, history, age etc etc. The dr suggested it would be a good idea i arrange a health check to get this checked. I called to arrange this but was told i would be called back. I was left a message on my answer machine telling me in no uncertain terms that I could not have a health check until feb 2019 as Health checks were done every 5 years. Prevention is better than cure i thought?!

Thank you for your feedback. The NHS Health Check scheme enables a patient between the ages of 74 to have a thorough health check once every 5 years. So if you have had one within the last five years or are not quite within the age group it is not something we can offer you at this time. Please contact the surgery to discuss other options other than a NHS Health Check, our staff would be very happy to help.
