From this week people in Southampton aged between 40 and 75 can request free health checks.
The checks will include a free while-you-wait cholesterol test and will initially be piloted on Saturday and weekday evenings.
All of the checks will include a full medical history, height weight and a measure of body mass index, blood pressure and pulse rate check as well as the cholesterol reading.
