- What s your blood pressure really like?
- Not sure how much you weigh?
- Need answers about alcohol or smoking?
- Do you want some advice on a health issue, or healthier living without taking a load of time out of work or feeling like you re mithering someone...?
Check It Out is a new initiative from NHS North Lancashire, offering men quick, no-fuss blood pressure, height, weight and body mass index checks.
We also give out free information and advice on healthier lifestyle, getting moving, alcohol and smoking PLUS access to health professionals in an informal way, at a handy time.
On the horizon
A week to remember: Men s Health Week runs 13-19 June 2011, backed by Men s Health Forum.
Check It Out recommends MHF website www.malehealth.co.uk for no-nonsense info on all aspects of men s health.
Check it out on tour
Between 3 and 13 May 2011 the Check It Out team will be visiting North Lancashire workplaces and retailers with their Check It Out bus, offering men a free and confidential health MOT, and (where possible) access to onboard GPs and nurses.
