The Grenfell Enhanced Health Checks are available each year and include an initial in person appointment to undertake a range of checks and tests that will be provided by a health care professional, including:

Blood Tests

  • A blood test will be requested if it is needed to rule out conditions such as diabetes, and high cholesterol, or do test your thyroid function and renal function.

Enhanced Health Check for Children

Following the tests an appointment will be arranged with a GP to discuss the results and any other concerns you may have about your health and wellbeing.

  • Respiratory symptom check
  • A discussion with a guardian or the child if appropriate about their wellbeing and any concerns they may have
