KCHFT manage the programme and sub-contract delivery out to approximately 145 General Practices (GPs) and 37 community pharmacies. In addition, KCHFT has an NHS Health Check core team which also provides checks in community clinics. Finally, KCHFT also have an outreach arm which provides NHS Health Checks within various community locations to underserved and underrepresented populations.

As a minimum, SMS and letters must be available. • The ability to target invitations towards different demographics and/or risk factors e.g., age, ethnicity, at high risk of diabetes etc. • The ability to exclude non-eligible patients from the eligible population list and any health check data • A template/module, or other means, for enabling Health Check providers to record a predefined list of medical information during each check • A means for calculating a QRISK score for each patient following a check, and Health Check providers being able to provide these results to their patients in a variety of formats e.g., printing them out, sending them via secure email. • Detailed reporting on invites, checks conducted, and subsequent patient outcomes following a check.
