Better Health Bus brings free NHS checks to the Galleria in Hatfield, Hertfordshire

The Better Health Bus is a Public Health Hertfordshire initiative, which travels around the county, bringing health and wellbeing services, support and advice directly to local communities.

The service is available to all residents. However, the main aim is to reach out to people who are most disadvantaged by health inequalities and may not otherwise have access to health monitoring and improvement services.

The bus has two consultation rooms and the trained health advisors on board can provide:

· An NHS health check for eligible residents aged 40-74

· A wellbeing check for anyone aged 18+

· Specialist ‘stop smoking’ support

· Information about local health and wellbeing services

· Other services may come on board at a later date

There is no booking required, just drop in.

Tim Stirling, Centre Director at The Galleria says: “We’re thrilled to be able to accommodate and support the Better Health Bus at The Galleria. We hope our local community will use this great initiative developed by Public Health Hertfordshire”.
