Free health checks at work

Free Health Check for all staff with no cost to the employer.

In line with the Lambeth Borough Plan of ‘Making Lambeth Fit for the Future‘, the council launched the Health Checks at Work initiative on the 8 October 2024. This gives all people aged18 and over working in Lambeth the opportunity to access a free health check at their workplace, to support in better identifying and managing health risks. The health check will include measurements such as cholesterol and blood glucose testing. 

The Health Checks at Work initiative is part of a UK government-funded pilot scheme to deliver free NHS Health checks and cardiovascular disease health assessments at workplaces across the UK. 45 boroughs across the UK are participating in the pilot scheme, and Lambeth Council’s Public Health division secured funding from the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) to participate in it. Lambeth Council has commissioned Lambeth GP Federation (NHS Health Professionals) to provide the service across the borough.

We value the health of everyone working in Lambeth and would like to encourage your organisation/business/charity to participate in this initiative.
