Life gets busy — but your health should never take a back seat. Regular check-ups with your GP are one of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent serious illness. These visits are not just for when you feel unwell — they help detect early signs of health issues before they become bigger problems.

What Happens in a General Check-up?

  • Blood pressure and heart rate monitoring
  • Weight and BMI check
  • Blood tests (cholesterol, sugar levels, etc.)
  • Review of lifestyle factors (diet, exercise, stress, sleep)
  • Discussion of family medical history and risk factors

How Often Should You See Your GP?
Even if you’re feeling well, aim for a check-up every 12 months — more frequently if you have existing health conditions.

Remember: Preventive care today could mean avoiding major health concerns tomorrow.
