LAST week saw free NHS health checks during men’s health week.
NHS South West Essex were out and about offering men over 40 a free NHS Health Check in Pitsea, Vange, Basildon, Grays and South Ockendon.
Aimed at 40 to 74 year olds who don’t have an existing diagnosis of heart disease, stroke, diabetes or chronic kidney disease, the check assessed the risk of developing these diseases so that action can be taken to reduce the risk where it is high.
YourThurrock went down to Grays High Street to assess the popularity of the health checks and the ongoing challenge of men’s health.
