What is a 75 year old plus health check?
A health assessment of an older person is an in-depth assessment of a patient aged 75 years and over. It provides a structured way of identifying health issues and conditions that are potentially preventable or amenable to interventions in order to improve health and/or quality of life.
The purpose of this health assessment is to help identify any risk factors exhibited by an elderly patient that may require further health management or intervention. In addition to assessing your health status, a health assessment is used to identify a broad range of factors that influence your physical, psychological and social functioning.
We will discuss a wide range of health issues with you, including
But I’m healthy. Do I still need a 75+ health check?
If you feel you are at a healthy point in your life, this can be the best time to go and see your GP. We use the information as a benchmark, if your health starts to veer from this point, we have a map to navigate back towards the healthiest you! Additionally, health checks often include bloodwork and other screening tests. Even though you may feel healthy, some of these tests may indicate otherwise, and early detection is preferred.
What should I expect at a 75+ Health Check?
The first portion of the appointment typically lasts 50 minutes and will take place with the nurse. They will obtain a comprehensive history, ensure your bloodwork, immunisations and various screenings are up to date. The last 10-15 minutes is spent with the doctor (and sometimes the nurse) to address anything outstanding.
