To help you to keep well this winter, we'll be bringing our experts to Sittingbourne with top tips, advice on local services, as well as information about volunteering opportunities with Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust.
You'll also be able to get your FREE NHS Health Check* from One You Kent, on board the Public Health Bus. It’s simple and could save your life!
As we get older, we have higher chances of having:
• heart disease
• stroke
• type 2 diabetes
• kidney disease.
Your NHS health check can help spot any issues early. Your advisor will measure your risk and help you find ways to reduce it. Even if you feel fine, it’s better to know for sure.
Call 0300 123 1220 or visit www.kentcht.nhs.uk/service/one-you-kent/nhs-health-checks for more information or just drop-in and see us on the day.
If you’re not eligible* for a full NHS Health Check ask for an on-the-spot health MOT instead.
*Eligibility
