Vascular Screening

Over the coming months we will be rolling out a vascular risk screening program. This will be aimed at patients over the age of 45 who have no history of diabetes, heart disease or high blood pressure. The checks will involve a blood test and a set of simple tests including blood pressure, height and weight. With this information we can then advise on reducing the risk of developing heart disease and strokes. We will initially be aiming the program at those who are statistically more at risk of developing such conditions. We will be writing to those in the eligible group shortly.
