So, your busy, fit and in good health, never have to see the GP because you just don’t get sick that often. That means you are healthy right?

​

As we move away from the thirties and into the mid-forties and onwards it is important to get checked out. Why? Because the cure is better than the disease, it’s that simple. Getting to know your GP and getting advice can help identify any under lying health problems early.

 

These types of health issues you really do want to know about sooner rather than later.

 

The purpose of these visits is to:

• Screen for medical issues

• Assess your risk for future medical problems

• Encourage a healthy lifestyle

• Update vaccinations

• Help you get to know your GP in case of an illness

​

Are you male and aged 40 to 64?

​

You should be having the following testing regularly:

• Blood pressure screening

• ECG

• Cholesterol screening and heart disease prevention

• Diabetes screening

• Colon cancer screening

• Skin cancer screening

• Immunisations

• Prostate screening

• Osteoporosis screening

 

Don’t leave it until you are unwell, man up and book an appointment today!
