Did you know 2 in 5 people in England have high cholesterol? If you're over 40, you can get an NHS Health Check to identify if you have high cholesterol and find out steps to help reduce it. #NationalCholesterolMonth

Great to see that delivery of the NHS Health Check is continuing to rise and is at its highest level since the start of the pandemic.

People over 40 should get their blood pressure tested at least once every 5 years. You can get your blood pressure tested at some pharmacies, at an NHS Health Check appointment, at home or at your GP surgery: https://t.co/gQDkCOr6Zt

It was great to hear @AKPritchard2 reiterate her and the NHSβs commitment to prevention at the latest staff briefing. #KnowYourNumbers is coming up in September; a great opportunity to make prevention happen. @BloodPress_UK @TheBHF @HealthFdn @TheKingsFund @MichaelMarmot
Thank you to @SurreyHeartland vaccine clinic in Reigate for hosting my first visit as @NHSEngland Chief Executive. It was a pleasure to meet colleagues delivering lifesaving COVID jabs, whilst also trialling blood pressure checks for people getting their vaccine.

The great majority of adults have been vaccinated. Four weeks working on a COVID ward makes stark the reality that the majority of our hospitalised COVID patients are unvaccinated and regret delaying. Some are very sick including young adults. Please don't delay your vaccine.
