The NHS Health Check programme is a national initiative targeting adults aged 40-74 with the aim of improving health outcomes by early detection and management of key risk factors that contribute to premature mortality. The program operates through local authorities and healthcare providers, offering routine check-ups every five years to eligible individuals. 

Having accurate and accessible data is essential for effective clinical decision-making and program evaluation. Currently, variations in clinical templates used across different regions have led to inconsistencies in data recording. 

PRSB is collaborating with the programme to develop a nationally agreed information Standard to guide the design of clinical templates, allowing uniform data collection and improving the quality and accuracy of recorded information. 

How to get involved 

Our first consultation was a series of webinars held in April 2024 to engage with those using the NHS Health Check service as well as suppliers and others to review and comment on the draft standard to help improve people’s uptake of the check.
