Camden health and wellbeing bus

Join us on the health and wellbeing bus for free health checks and friendly support to stay healthy and well. No booking is needed, just walk in.

At every bus session you can:

  • get a free, personalised health check – this check is for anyone aged 30 and over and includes height, weight, BMI and blood pressure checks
  • find out your risk of developing type 2 diabetes (Know Your Risk score)
  • get help to stop smoking 
  • find out about local cancer screening programmes, and see if you are eligible for any of them
  • pick up free condoms if you're a young person aged 13-24
  • get information and advice on services near you, including weight management, drug and alcohol support, how to stay active, help with digital skills and much more

Free, personalised health checks

Anyone aged 30 or over can have a free, personalised health check on the health and wellbeing bus, to help you reduce your risk of developing health conditions like heart disease and diabetes.  

The health check takes 20 to 30 minutes. We will record your age, height, weight and blood pressure and ask you some questions about your family history and lifestyle.

We will discuss your results with you and give you suggestions to improve or maintain your health, and you’ll have an opportunity to ask us any questions.

Who will complete my health check?

Most sessions on the health and wellbeing bus are delivered by trained health and wellbeing advisors. They will carry out your health checks, discuss the results with you, and advise on any changes you can make to support your health. 

At some sessions, you can speak to a doctor or nurse. If you’re registered with a Camden GP, they may be able to access your medical records. We have labelled the sessions where a doctor or nurse will be attending below.
