The service supported people to manage their health and wellbeing to maximise their independence, choice and control. The service supported people to live healthier lives and where possible, reduce their future needs for care and support. Information to promote healthier lives and screening was displayed in the practice and on the website.

The practice offered NHS Health Checks for adults aged 40 – 74. The service told us 223 health checks had been completed since May 2025 in addition to 45 annual health reviews for the 55 people currently registered with a learning disability.

Staff focussed on identifying risks to people’s health, including those in the last 12 months of their lives and those with caring responsibilities. Staff supported national priorities and initiatives to improve population health, including stopping smoking and tackling obesity.

The practice utilised social prescribers through their Primary Care Network (PCN). They helped to support patients with managing their health and wellbeing and signposted them to a range of support services and activities. In addition, paramedics from the PCN supported the practice with chronic disease management reviews for housebound patients.

The service routinely monitored people’s care and treatment to continuously improve it. They ensured outcomes were positive, consistent and met the expectations of people themselves.

The service had met the national minimum target for childhood immunisations, with 3 of the 5 indicators exceeding the World Health Organisation (WHO) target of 95%. The service had performed better than the England average in relation to several cancer screening programmes, including screening for breast, bowel and cervical cancer.

Patients had access to a cancer care co-ordinator for support. They had carried out reviews and promoted cancer screening, which had improved uptake rates.
