Alsager residents will have the chance to access Cheshire East's Health & Well-being bus this week.

The service is in Waitrose car park today but on Thursday (February 16th) it's in Alsager at the Cedars Medical Centre from 10 am until 3pm.

A spokesperson for the service said: "Everyone is at risk of developing heart disease, stroke, diabetes, kidney disease and some forms of dementia.

"The good news is that these conditions can often be prevented – even if you have a history of them in your family."

The free wellbeing check is like an MOT for your body, health, and wellbeing and takes about 20 to 30 minutes.

The check includes:

• blood pressure checks
• heart screening
• advice on:
• alcohol consumption
• diabetes
• diet and healthy eating
• healthy wellbeing
• living with Covid (importance of vaccinations, vaccination clinic availability, Covid-19 LFT kits)
• mental health (including Mentell)
• physical activity, exercise and fitness
• stopping smoking
•
