Your health check results

When will I get my results?

Results are usually given straight away. Sometimes you may be asked to come back at another time to collect them.

Your results will be discussed with you, and you will be given an overall risk score. Your results may show you are at risk for certain health conditions.

The healthcare professional will give you health advice based on your results. This will help you maintain or improve your health. They may recommend lifestyle changes and work with you to create a lifestyle prescription. If you are at high risk, you may be referred for treatment.

Your Lifestyle Prescription

Lifestyle changes can have a bigger impact on our health than medications. For More information about your lifestyle prescription, visit Healthy Harrow.

You can create your own lifestyle prescription or one for your family using the template on the website.
