Come and join our free, fun and interactive in-person training.

You will improve your knowledge and understanding to help you carry out an NHS Health Check and learn top tips.

A great opportunity to network with colleagues from across Norfolk, to find out information on further training and development opportunities 

We ask important questions every day—but understanding why they’re asked and how to interpret the results isn’t always straightforward. Interpreting results clearly and confidently is a key part of delivering effective NHS Health Checks.

This session is designed to build confidence and deepen understanding, helping you feel more assured in explaining questions and results to patients.

Whether you are new to delivering NHS Health Checks or have attended training before and would like a refresher, you are invited to attend this free, interactive, in-person training.

Previous attendees are very welcome.

TESTIMONIALS

‘Trainer was very passionate about the subject and wanting us to deliver the best care we can to our patients, making sure we fully understood the CVD risk so we can explain to our pts confidently what this means, getting to grips with the BMI and GPPAQ too. Since the training I am now seeing and hoping to revise how I go about these checks with my patients in order to give them the best care so thank you for that.’ – HCA

“I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for this NHS health check training session. The 6- hour programme was exceptionally well structured and highly informative. I would particularly like to highlight the expertise of the two presenters. Their professionalism, deep knowledge and delivery skills were evident throughout the day. I found the step by step explanation of health check , alcohol screening, healthy lifestyle, q-risk calculation incredibly clear. the use of case studies was particularly helpful in solidifying my understanding of cvd risk and how to accurately use the q -risk tool. the teaching aid such as using plastic horse, sponges to demonstrate the stages of atheroma and lipid made complex concepts very easy to grasp. Please keep up this excellent work. sessions of this quality are vital for professional development and ultimately, lead to the best possible outcomes for patients.”  – Pharm Tech
