A Community Health Check is being held in Exeter city centre on Saturday, 11 October.

The public are invited to “know your numbers” as such values as BMI, blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol are measured.

The event will take place at St Stephen’s Church, High Street, Exeter from 10am-4pm on 11 October, and it is free. There is no need to book, just turn up on the day.

The event is organized and staffed by volunteers from the Seventh-day Adventist Churches in Devon & Cornwall, including medical professionals, to offer a service to the public. At last year's event 88 people went through the complete range of health tests, with an additional number attending just one or two of the tests. No diagnosis is offered or given, but when appropriate a letter is provided to the GP.
