Yes, as an adult, you are entitled to receive NHS health checks. These checks are designed to assess your general health and identify potential health issues early. Typically, adults aged 40-74 are offered health checks every five years, but anyone can request a check if they have concerns. Speak to your GP to find out more about the health checks available to you.
