NHS Health Checks
NHS Health Checks Overview
NHS Health Checks are undertaken on patients who do not have a pre-existing Long Term Condition and/or have not been prescribed statins, as these patients will receive regular checkups within their specific care pathway. On this basis, whilst the GP practice may have carried out the activity, a NHS Health Check recorded for a patient that had one or more of the conditions listed below on the date of the NHS Health Check would not be considered valid for inclusion in the service and payment.
NHS Health Check Ineligibility
The nhs_healthcheck table provides information on recorded NHS Health Checks. The inelig_earliest_date provides the earliest date at which a patient was diagnosed with a LTC or was prescribed statins and so become ineligible for a NHS Health Check. The inelig_table column provides the table name from which the inelig_earliest_date was derived. The valid_nhshc field provides a Y/N definition of the Health Check validity, based on the inelig_earliest_date compared to the NHS Health Check latest_date.
