Age 40 NHS health check

[Autumnwoman]

I've been invited for an NHS healthcheck, I assume because I turned 40 a couple of months ago.

I have been told this will include a blood test. I assume they're primarily checking cholesterol. Would they also be checking for hormone/menopause as standard at this age? Periods are still regular, but wondered if it would be standard.

Things like high cholesterol and high blood pressure can creep up on you without you knowing so it is always worth getting them checked out.

However, I think some pharmacies might offer this service if you don't want to go to the GP.

My dp was offered one of these (man) I wasn't (woman)
