Digital NHS Health Check Programme
The Department of Health and Social Care and parts of the NHS are trialling offering NHS Health Checks in a digital format. This is a fully funded initiative which will involve sending SMS invites to eligible patients to signpost them to the digital Health Check platform, Tickertest. Information from the digital NHS Health Check will be written back to the patient’s GP record, after which practices can follow up with the patient accordingly in line with usual practice.
