Making Prevention Accessible to All

GPDQ’s Community Health Checks service supports NHS and local authority partners to deliver vital screenings in high-footfall, accessible locations for the hard-to-reach, not just GP surgeries. These CQC-registered clinics help detect risk factors early, improve engagement in underserved groups, and reduce the long-term costs of untreated illness.

Why Community Health Checks Matter

Identify preventable conditions earlier
Increase uptake among hard-to-reach and underserved groups
Reduce demand on primary care and urgent care services
Improve population health outcomes
Lower future system costs through early intervention

How the Service Works

Local Coordination: GPDQ works with NHS and council teams to select sites and target populations.
Clinic Setup: We mobilise pop-up or recurring clinics in community settings like shopping centres, places of worship, and libraries.
Screening and Lifestyle Assessment: Checks include cholesterol, blood pressure, BMI, and blood sugar — plus questions on diet, alcohol, smoking, and activity levels.
Personalised Advice and Signposting: Participants receive tailored guidance and are referred to local services or digital tools.
Reporting and Follow-Up: Outcomes are anonymised, reported back to commissioners, and used to shape local strategy.
