• Following this, height, weight, and blood pressure is measured and urine is checked. An ECG is also performed. 
• Blood tests are taken as appropriate for age, sex and medical and family history of the patient and the questionnaire discussed with the nurse. Blood tests can include a full blood count, kidney and liver blood tests, cholesterol, blood sugar, thyroid test, and a prostate blood test for men where appropriate
• The nurse will advise on a healthier lifestyle for you based on your questionnaire.
