Thursday 12th March is World Kidney Day, a day when we celebrate those who have donated their kidneys and remember those who are waiting for a life-saving kidney transplant.

Last year, over 2,000 organ transplants were kidneys, but there are still almost 7,000 people waiting for a kidney transplant today.

Sadly, the reality is that someone will die waiting for a kidney. By confirming your decision on the NHS Organ Donor Register, in just 2 minutes, you could end up saving a life.

People are being encouraged to take control of their health by taking their free NHS Health Check online.

A number of GP practices in Wolverhampton are taking part in a pilot programme and inviting eligible patients to complete their NHS Health Check online. Everyone else will continue to be offered an in-person check in the usual way.

NHS Health Checks are available to eligible 40 to 74-year-olds once every five years. They assess the individual’s health and identify relatively simple lifestyle changes they could make to lower their risk of developing serious but preventable conditions such as heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, type 2 diabetes and dementia.

Councillor Obaida Ahmed, Cabinet Member for Health, Wellbeing and Community, said: “If you’re 40 to 74, keep an eye out for an invitation from your GP to complete your check online via the NHS app. Taking part could help you stay healthier for longer, and doing so online is an easy way to look after your health even if you’re busy, work long hours, or find appointments difficult to attend. If your GP is not taking part in the online pilot, do not worry – you will still be able to get your NHS Health Check face-to-face whenever it is due.”
