Starting September, Greater Manchester offers free NHS health checks at workplaces for 40-74-year-olds, aiming to prevent deadly diseases and reduce absences.
Starting September, Greater Manchester workers will be offered free NHS health checks at their workplace, a new government scheme aimed at preventing deadly diseases like diabetes, strokes, heart and kidney disease.
Seven local authorities in Greater Manchester receive £600,000 for 14,600 health checks.
Eligible individuals are 40-74-year-olds without specific pre-existing conditions, and can receive a check every five years.
The initiative targets middle-aged workers, focusing on industries with staff less likely to take up health check offers, and aims to reduce ill health-related absences.
