We are continually encourage our clients and all members of the community to avail of their Annual Health Check. Everyone aged over 40 yrs is entitled to an Annual Health Check and should be automatically offered one from their GP Surgery. This however is not always the case and the Health & Wellbeing team at Ashford Place are working hard to ensure that anyone who has not been offered or taken up their offer of a health check knows that we are here help.
Our current focus is on people living with a mental health diagnosis. For a variety of reasons it can be more challenging for this cohort of people to arrange or keep their appointments. As we know, making a GP appointment can be very challenging so do let the SMI Team help you and don’t miss out on your important Annual Health Check Appointment.
We are offering one to one support to everyone throughout the community who falls within the SMI category.

Height, weight, BMI, blood pressure, heart rate, blood glucose, and questions on female health (last smear test, contraception etc), male health (prostate etc.), family history, vaccinations, medications, lifestyle inc smoking/alcohol intake
We can also offer health check appointments with our in-house Health Care Assistant. Results are provided to the clients GP and any points of note addressed on behalf of the client. Where needed, clients are signposted and supported to access non GP health services.
