Camden mobile health

The Camden Mobile Health bus offers free preventative diabetes risk checks, health information and advice to support residents to make positive health and wellbeing choices, and to prevent people aged 30 and over from developing serious health conditions in the future.  

As we get older, we all have a greater chance of developing a range of serious health conditions, including high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and kidney disease. Even with or without a family history of these diseases, certain lifestyle factors such as smoking, a poor diet or lack of physical exercise can put us at higher risk of developing one or more of these conditions.  

Camden Council, in partnership with NHS colleagues at Brondesbury Medical Centre, would like to invite residents from the age of 30 - 70 to take a health check on our new health bus.

This is part of our shared belief in offering residents easy access to free, preventative healthcare to help them live long and healthy lives. By offering residents access to free, personalised health checks from the age of 30, we hope to arm them with information so they are prepared for the future and can start to take steps now to reduce risk, maintain and improve their health

What to expect on board the mobile health bus

The preventative diabetes check is 100% voluntary and takes about 20 to 30 minutes to complete. The doctor or nurse working on the bus will record your age, height and weight, and will also check your blood pressure. You may then be asked questions about your family history and lifestyle.

Once this is complete the healthcare professional will discuss your results with you. You may be given advice to help you lower your risk of preventative health conditions such as diabetes and obesity, and suggested steps you can take to maintain or improve your health.
