Outreach health checks

Offering health checks in people's own environments, especially in rural or deprived areas, is crucial because it helps overcome barriers such as limited transport, low awareness of available services, and difficulties accessing traditional healthcare facilities. This approach ensures that vulnerable populations receive essential health screenings, enabling earlier detection of health issues, better management of chronic conditions, and improved overall health outcomes.

The team provides outreach health checks to communities that may have difficulty accessing healthcare, including farmers and families, ethnic minorities, foodbank users, veterans, people attending job centres in deprived areas, rural residents, and individuals who are isolated. We collaborate with partners and organisations supporting these groups to ensure those most in need are reached. These health checks help identify conditions such as cardiovascular disease early, allowing us to offer advice and support for healthier living. They also serve as an opportunity to inform people about available services and resources to help them manage their health proactively.

Additionally, these checks help identify gaps in existing healthcare provision, enabling us to better understand community needs. They foster stronger partnerships with local organisations and healthcare providers, improving service delivery and ensuring everyone has access to the care they need.
